This coloration closely mimics that of the winter leaf of the tulip poplar. The wilderness has sheltered coves with white oak, basswood and tulip poplar. Pine, bass or tulip poplar are common for the seat. When first settled, the bluff was covered with tulip poplar trees. Trees such as tulip poplar, beech, and sugar maple are also present in the area. Portions of the area were previously logged and now sport fast-growing tulip poplar. Most of the area is wooded, mainly with tulip poplar, yellow birch, oak, and hickory.
