Located about half an hour west of Bigfork is a forest known as the Lost 40 Scientific and Natural Area. The 114-acre Lost 40 SNA includes 32 acres of old-growth pine forest.
“Some people might know 40 as one of the smaller units of a public land survey,” said Minnesota Department of Natural Resources SNA Management Specialist AmberBeth VanNingen. “It’s just kind of a colloquialism. Like, talk about the back 40 or the front 40. It might not actually be 40 acres.”
