The approach to the springs is on a boardwalk across a warm water marsh. Moose and other animals appreciate this unusual habitat, especially in winter. But, incredibly, a species of fish lives in the hot water. Here's what the sign says: "The small fish in these pools are lake chub who were isolated from others of their kind thousands of years ago. This unusual population has adapted to life in the hot-springs, where they feed on the abundant invertebrate life, plankton, and algae."

Frankly, given the exotic nature of the spot, I wouldn't be surprised to find tiny aquatic dinosaurs in the marsh.
