Weeknight Hikes - February

  • The Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies 7526 Sunset Trail Road Northeast Mancelona, MI, 49659 United States (map)

Join us for a (nearly) full moon evening hike!

This will be a (nearly) full moon evening hike! We will provide lanterns for everyone to guide us into the dusky hours of the evening to walk the trail with our friends and partners at the Au Sable Institute.

Look for "Conservation District Event" signs on Sunset Trail to help guide you to the parking lot. There is a large wooden archway at the end of the Au Sable Institute driveway, parking is at the top of the small hill.

This is a snow or shine event unless a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect. Every effort will be made to post updates at least 4 hours in advance of the event. You can check back on the event listing or the KCD page.

We'll hike/snowshoe/xc ski depending on trail conditions and hiker preferences for a total hike of 1 mile.

Please come prepared to hike in low-light conditions. We will have some lanterns available for all to borrow. The trail in this section is relatively flat with little to no elevation changes. We will also have snowshoes available if we have enough snow at that point.

For more info call Renee at (231) 258-3307 or email (renee.penny@macd.org). RSVPs are welcomed but not mandatory, simply show up ready to explore!
