Geocache Description:


 

 


The plant with a hundred uses, smooth sumac (Rhus glabra).  The fruit (drupes) can be dried and ground into a spice or soaked to make a sumac-ade; various parts can be processed to produce a smokeless candle wax; the leaves, fruit, and bark can be used to obtain various dye colors; the stems were used in pipemaking, and historically it was a medicinal plant. 

Parking available at the south comfort station within the campground, or at the Agassiz picnic shelter.

All North Dakota State Parks require the purchase and display of a daily ($5) or annual ($25) vehicle permit upon entry.
