A partially preserved single Indian mound is located on the highest point of ground that overlooks Hook Lake. See Conservation Easement Map for its location and see Manson Mound for its exact boundaries.

Dunn #3 is subject to a conservation easement in favor of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Town of Dunn. Such easement includes the designation of an area (the “Natural Area Tract”) that is in the southern 1/3 of the property, which encompasses those wooded lands and approximately 100 yards of open fields. The following activities are prohibited in the Natural Area Tract:

• No trees, shrubs, or plants may be cut, trimmed, or damaged (including trimming, cutting or damaging the vegetation for such reasons as creating a shooting lane or construction, installation and/or operation of a tree stand).
• No natural materials (including rocks, minerals, fossils and soil) may be removed.
• No new trails may be constructed.

One of the boundaries of Dunn #3 is Hook Lake. Hook Lake is public property below the high water mark and not owned, controlled by or associated with MāHUNT. MāHUNT will allow an entrant to drive the entrant’s vehicle on a predesignated limited access trail (see “Water Access Trail” on the subject property’s aerial map) through Dunn #3 in order to transport the entrant’s own non-motorized watercraft to within fifty yards of Hook Lake. Please note that Entrant’s direct or indirect use of Hook Lake and its dangerous, hazardous and unstable floating bog of any kind whatsoever or any consequences resulting from such direct or indirect use of Hook Lake or the floating bog is the entrant’s and his or her companion’s (if applicable) sole and complete responsibility.
