Aurora Basin

 is a location featured in Red Dead Redemption in the Tall Trees region of the West Elizabeth territory.

Lobo the Wolf can be found at this location as part of the Rank 10 Master Hunter Challenge. Most commonly you will find foxes, cougars and bears.

Directions
Follow the west lake in Tall Trees and at the end of the lake you'll find Aurora Basin. This location was most likely used as a fishing and hunting hut, but by appearance looks as though it was abandoned. The water in the basin is shallow enough for wading, providing a potential escape from pursuing Animals.

Trivia

 * This area is also useful for racking up multiple wolf and bear kills, as they cannot get on the porch. The player can simply kill off all animals in sight, dash up and skin the bodies, then run back to safety, but escaping to sell the skins is tough to do.
 * A scrap of the U.S. Army Outfit is located inside the shack at the base of the L shaped dock. Also, it serves as a known gang hideout for the West Elizabeth bounty hunting missions.
 * It is very likely to commit accidental suicide in the Aurora Basin.
 * The water in Aurora Basin is extremely shallow; the player can go out into the middle of the basin and still avoid drowning, in fact it is so shallow the player can walk to the other side without drowing.
 * If the player knocks himself over (dynamite, falling off horse) and submerges his head in the water, he will die.
 * During Undead Nightmare, one may encounter a survivor nearby who will request the player's help in rescuing a stranded friend or family member from zombies in.
 * A single Duck may spawn in the early morning or at sunrise. This is most likely a glitch.
 * This is one of the few places in Red Dead Redemption where it never rains. While dark clouds will cover the sky and thunder and lightning may be heard and seen overhead, rain never appears to fall. However, if you enter the small cabin when this weather is present, the player may hear rain against the cabin.
 * If you place a hogtied victim at the edge of the dock and cut him/her free, the player may get stuck inside the dock with their feet in the water. This can be fixed by tapping the Jump button repeatedly.
