We had a beautiful day to enjoy on a ~7-mile hike from the NCT trailhead on Hwy 6 just north of Remer to Milton Lake! We enjoyed the scenic views from the Milton Lake Esker and the comradery of time in the woods together. Even the fur-babies had a great time! There's still time to get out and enjoy the NCT in northern Minnesota, so I encourage you to take advantage! Be mindful about the upcoming deer hunting season...and wear blaze orange! :)

Thanks Lee for the great article!

I’m an avid hiker, but I don’t like to hike alone, so when I saw an invitation on social media to hike with the Arrowhead Chapter of the North Country Trail Association (NCTA) at McCarthy Beach State Park, I was all in. I have hiked at McCarthy Beach

On Saturday (Oct 11th) we had a perfect day for a hike to the Joyce Estate, northeast of Grand Rapids on beautiful Trout Lake. Thanks to those who joined me for the hike and I'm already looking forward to the next one on November 1st on the NCT from Hwy 6 to Milton Lake (in the Star of the North Chapter's section!). Additional details to come about that hike!

Thank you to the 100+ Women Who Care - Itasca Area for the platform to share information about the North Country Trail and specifically the NCTA's Arrowhead Chapter! While we weren't awarded any funds this evening, it was a wonderful event and two great causes walked away with a nice gift of funds! KAXE Radio Station and Itasca Area Cancer Crisis Fund. 🩷

Another section of trail was cleared today on the re-route off of Hwy 6 north of Remer with a great day to do trail work! We also took a side trip to the No Name Lake to take in the beauty there and inspect our trail work from a year ago! It was a good day with great people. 😄
