Electric utilities end at the Clinton Mills Road.
Pat’s is a deep-water pond with a large beaver house at the far end. You’ll see beaver going about their business and in the spring and fall, ducks and geese, as they stopover during their biannual migration. The hardwood forests in this area were harvested over a decade ago. The predominate tree species in the residual stands are; sugar and red maple, white, gray and yellow birch, beech, ash, aspen, hemlock, red spruce, and balsam fir. The young emerging growth is a favorite forage of deer and provides both food and cover for a variety of wildlife.
