When they drew near, Ayla noticed that it was the smaller variety of cattail that grew so thickly near the edge, along with bay willow brush, some nearly the size of trees.

Reed mace, narrow-leaved smaller varieties of s, ferns, even the bay willow brush that eventually be- rew along the edges, but extremely tall reed grass, reach- et in height, was the primary vegetation.

Along the shores grow trees such as Ash, Elm, Hybrid Crack Willow, Oak, Aspen, Bird Cherry, Black Alder, Bay Willow, Grey Willow, and Goat Willow.

Lacking soft and shallow bottom areas near the shore, the lake contains only commonplace vegetation, save for the population of Crack Willow and the hybrid between White Willow and Bay Willow found on the southern shore.

It is closely related to Salix pentandra of Europe and Asia.
