Powers “is one of the city’s richest and largest natural areas.” (Chicago Habitat Directory 2005, p. 127) Its 580 acres include a natural lake with a launch area for boats and canoes, 26 different species of fish,” 123 bird species, and rare varieties of sedges and orchids.
During the Field Museum’s Calumet Initiative 24-hour Bio-blitz in 2002, more than 2,200 different species of life forms were identified at Wolf Lake and related natural sites.
On the lake’s Indiana side, iceboat sailing was once a great winter sport. Today, ice fishing and duck hunting are more likely. Summer sports include windsurfing, with some of the most ideal conditions in the country.
