To the eastside of the lake , positioned into the wooded area near the adjacent meadow , is a cluster of Birch trees. It is believed that Jens Jensen positioned the trees for the Ford family to enjoy as a backdrop view from the porch of the Skating House. During the evening sunsets the golden light glows across the lake reflecting the white bark from the Birch trees. 

Today the only remaining evidence of the Skating House is the cement base section of the porch and the cement steps leading onto the lake.
