There's been some activities in Saginaw Forest with regard to maintenance activities. This is part of the new management plan that's been drawn up for the forest. Last year, 2009, leaning trees were cut down in order to minimize the risk of having one fall unexpectedly. This year, there's a good chance of a boardwalk going in on the east side of Third Sister Lake - connecting the north and south side of the lake, creating a circle route.
If you are interested in looking at the plan, it can be found here.

Public use of Saginaw Forest is encouraged. Rules for the public's use include (but are not limited to):
