 The Chippewa National Forest is the first National Forest established east of the Mississippi River in 1908 and is the home to more lakes and wetlands than any other National Forest. The forest was originally known as the Minnesota National Forest. The name was changed in 1928 to honor the original inhabitants. 

The Forest is one of the largest breeding areas of bald eagles in the lower-48 states. Eagles can often be viewed soaring over the lakes. White-tailed deer, ruffed grouse and numerous waterfowl provide great wildlife viewing and hunting opportunities. Sensitive species such as osprey, loon and great grey owl also make the forest their home.
