	Description:		Years ago Dave Daniels from Rhinelander heard of a research project that really interested him, but he never heard what came out of the project so he sent a question to WXPR’s Curious North series asking us to look into it: What ever became of the Little Rock Lake Acid Rain research project conducted by water scientists at the Trout Lake research station near Boulder Junction? For this month’s Field Notes, Susan Knight recounts the entire story of Little Rock Lake, the site of an experiment studying acid rain, and the results that led to better air quality for everyone. This is a story about a small lake in Vilas County, an audacious experiment, and the results that led to national improvements in air quality. Little Rock Lake is a seepage lake nestled in the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest that, for more than a decade, was the site of an elaborate experiment testing the effects of acid rain on soft-water seepage lakes. Seepage lakes such as Little Rock Lake do not have
