The nine lakes are: Camp Lake, a 6-acre lake ringed by a floating sphagnum bog mat containing such plant species as white beak rush, narrow-leaved sundew, small cranberry, and grass pink orchid. Spence Lake, a 12-acre, acidic bog lake that is the headwaters of Foster Creek. Conifer swamp surrounds the northern part of the lake, hardwood swamp surrounds the central part, while the southern part is largely a sedge meadow, impacted by beaver activity.

Plummer Lake, a 41-acre, deep, hard-water seepage lake. Little Plummer Lake, a 10-acre wild hardwater seepage lake that drains into Plummer Lake.
