Guided hike, North End forest on Madeline Island

Free and Open to the Public!

Join us as we explore the North End Forest of Madeline Island. The North End is pristine forest with stands of old hemlock, oak and an abundance of mushrooms. We will start each hike at the Burroughs Trail Head but may drive to other trails heads to explore the forest. The trails are rustic so good hiking boots and an adventuresome spirit are required.

Location: Burroughs trail head, 2.5 miles north of Benjamin Boulevard on North Shore Drive

Annual Potluck, Madeline Island Wilderness Preserve

Annual Potluck gathering, location: 1348 Big Bay Road at 12pm after the hike. All hikers and non-hikers are welcome to attend the Potluck!
