It protects a significant headwater portion of the LaHave River watershed within the South Mountain Rolling Plain natural landscape. This landscape is an expansive granite bedrock, upland region characterized by a variety of forested landforms, glacial deposits, large scattered lakes, steep-sided streams and wetlands. Cloud Lake Wilderness Area features many of these elements, including excellent examples of kettle, esker, and bedrock-controlled lake and stream landforms.
