Superior National Forest was established on February 13,
1909 by President Theodore Roosevelt. One of the largest
Forests in the national forest system, the Superior boasts
a unique and rich legacy that has been largely influenced
by its boreal forest ecosystem and glacially-carved landscape
with myriad inter-connected waterways. |
