As I ply the roads between my house and Mother's, I have been admiring this plant for several weeks.It is Aralia spinosa and is growing in a low spot behind a dam.The top 3 feet or so of the plant is just visible from the road as I pass by. After several weeks of thinking how nice it was, I remembered to bring my camera. It is a very interesting native plant with many medicinal uses. you can read about it here.
