Description: Morning Hike

Join Interpretive Ranger Rachel for an morning hike along the Island Loop Trail! We'll start at the trailhead next to Cabin #9. Along the way we'll chat about nature and history. The main trail is an approximately 2.1 mile loop, there is an option to add another half mile if all participants are interested.

Sturdy walking shoes, water, and any needed snacks are recommended. Dress warm, it is often windy and cold near the shoreline this time of year.
