Kalkaska, a North Country Trail “Trail Town,” will hold a National Trails Day Celebration on Saturday, June 1. The event will include free guided hikes on the NCT and concludes with a picnic at Chalker Park in Kalkaska. Choose from two guided hikes. The longer hike will be about seven miles, starting at Starvation Lake Road and hiking to Pickerel Lake State Forest Campground. The shorter hike is 2.75 miles from Twin Lake Road to Pickerel Lake State Forest Campground. Bussing is available for each hike. The long hike departs promptly at 8:30 a.m. and the short hike departs at 10 a.m.
Immediately following the hike, at approximately 12:30 p.m., there will be a brief presentation on Trail etiquette and current trail projects, followed by the free picnic hosted by TC Energy (formerly TransCanada).
More details can be found online at kalkaskaconservation.org/trailsday or on the Grand Traverse Hiking Club and Kalkaska Conservation District Facebook pages.
