Labor Day Weekend Work and Hike

August 31st , Saturday
9-Noon
North End Trails of Madeline Island

Free and Open to the Public

Join us for a working hike on the North End Trails of Madeline Island.

We will divide up into groups to brush cut and refresh blazes on the trails. Please bring any trail tools you have. We will provide all paint for blazes.

The North End is a pristine forest with stands of old hemlock, oak and an abundance of wild mushrooms.

The Trails are rustic so good hiking boots and an adventuresome spirit are required.

Meet at the Burroughs Trailhead, 2.5 miles north of Benjamin Blvd on the North Shore Road.

Madeline Island Wilderness Preserve

The Madeline Island Wilderness Preserve is a non-profit land trust dedicated to the protection and preservation of natural areas on Madeline Island. The nature preserve lands are open to the public for hiking, skiing, berry-picking and hunting. MIWP is committed to education and advocacy — each summer we sponsor field trips and evening programs. Madeline Island is adjacent to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on the South Shore of Lake Superior in Wisconsin.
