Lickert (77.5 km)
Lickert is a 159-acre property featuring pasture, aspen forest, and wetlands. The area is home to various bird species, including the Blue-winged Teal, Horned Grebe, Sora, Spotted Sandpiper, Hairy Woodpecker, Least Flycatcher, Eastern Kingbird, Warbling Vireo, Blue Jay, Tree Swallow, Gray Catbird, and Yellow Warbler, as well as animals such as White-tailed Deer, Moose, Beaver, Porcupine, Snowshoe Hare, and Red Fox.
