What’s the tallest tree in Minnesota?

The tallest tree in Minnesota is a Red Pine (Pinus resinosa) known as the "Lost 40 Pine." This tree is located in the Chippewa National Forest in northern Minnesota and stands at a height of 186 feet (56.7 meters). The Lost 40 Pine is estimated to be between 300-400 years old and is one of the tallest trees in the entire eastern United States. The tree is named after the "Lost 40," a 144-acre section of the forest that was mistakenly left uncut by loggers in the early 20th century. Today, the Lost 40 is a popular hiking and sightseeing destination, with many other tall trees and diverse plant and animal life.
