Forested southeast facing slope above cove on Stonecole Lake. In WMA land, plot just borders on private land to the north. The plot is in the midst of a large stand of tulip poplar forest.;Overstory dominated by sugar maple and hickory with white ash and black oak present. There is a small flat area at the bottom of the plot; it appears to be a natural feature. The upper portion of the plot is very steep. Perhaps the flat was created by soil washing in from above. There is a large deer trail running along the small "terrace".
