Trapper's Trail follows the shoreline of Rustle Lake. This area supports a variety of wildlife, such as the
beaver,
otter,
marten,
great blue heron, and
moose. Originally, Rustle Lake was nothing more than a wide portion of a forest stream. Beavers then dammed it and aquatic plan t life grew into the shallow waters, forming this wetland. The abundance of fur-bearing
mammals resulted in the establishment of a trapline - licensed to the Renner brothers in the 1930's and active until the mid-70's. Trapper's Trail is only a portion of their former trapline which extended along the
Baldhead River to Lake Superior. The trail features two viewing platforms and a floating boardwalk.
