A vast lake, miles upon miles long, and wide. A unique variety of ecosystems consisting of sand dunes, coastal marshes, rocky shorelines, lakeplain prairies, savannas, forests, fens, and wetlands. There are numerous species of fish that populate the lake but, it was named for the Muskey fish population that thrives in it, or better known in the Ojibwa language, the word maashkinoozhe, meaning "ugly pike". Just about everything from black bear, fox, moose, coyote, gray wolf, elk, white-tailed deer, bobcat, beaver, otter, and lynx make their home here, or congregate to the water to drink. A few Chippewa tribes make their home around the lake area as well. A good place to gather for a drink and graze temporarily for any band of horses, not so much for a lone horse, or a little babe to run a stray from its mother, with all the predators, and even man in the area.

A swampy area where the wild boar have been isolated at for the most part. The land is covered in grass, and swamp reeds and cattails, and alders, willows, elderberry and highbush blueberry for trees and shrubs. There are areas where the terrain is torn up from them rooting up the ground. The boar are mainly nocturnal, feeding on berries, nuts, vegetation, scavenging on carcasses, and even hunting small animals on occasion. The boar are pretty territorial, and will defend themselves, if threatened, cornered, or if sows have piglets, by using their sharp tusks to gorge others, or even biting. Predators come to hunt here frequently to get an easy meal, by snatching up a piglet, or take down an adult if they're brave enough to handle the consequences of tangle with them. Take extreme caution when entering these lands, or you could possibly not make it out alive yourself.
