National Trails Day Hike and Picnic on the North Country National Scenic Trail

Join the North Country Trail Association’s Brule-St. Croix Chapter for a hike on Saturday, June 3rd, to celebrate National Trails Day in the Brule River State Forest.  The group hike will explore two favorite sections of the North Country National Scenic Trail in northwest Wisconsin.

Hikers can meet at 9 AM at the Palmer’s Landing Trailhead, 4 miles northeast of Solon Springs on County Highway A.  The first section of the hike will cross the Brule Bog Boardwalk through the headwaters of the St. Croix and Bois Brule rivers.  Hikers will continue on the Brule-St. Croix Historic Portage, the route of Native Americans and voyageurs across the continental divide between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed.  The hike offers 2.5 and 6 mile distance options. Afterward, return to Palmer’s Landing for a potluck picnic.  For more information visit www.meetup.com/sscbhikers,
