Description of specimen

This is a Giant Hogweed. The specimens listed were in the cabin area and the park along the river, but there are a large number of the Giant Hogweeds. In a space of about 1/4 mi along the river and road, we counted about fifty of the plants. We reported the finding to a park ranger, who said if they were along the river they were the responsibility of the Forest Service. Regardless of whose responsibility it is, this is an invasion of Giant Hogweed.
