Tazin

The highlands around Tazin Lake form a rugged part of the northern Shield, where ancient rock rises above a multitude of small lakes. Black spruce and jack pine grow on the lower slopes, while the steepest heights are often bare. Streams link the lakes across this broken country, much of which drains north towards Great Slave Lake. Moose and wolves inhabit the forest, and barren-ground caribou sometimes enter the region in winter.
