Kick start your summer and celebrate National Trails Day with Kalkaska Trail Town partners!

The Trail Town partners of the Village of Kalkaska, Kalkaska Downtown Development Authority, the Grand Traverse Hiking Club, and the Kalkaska Conservation District invite you to some guided hikes on the North Country Trail. We will celebrate all the hard work to install 12 new miles of trail (some of which you'll be hiking) and trail volunteers that maintain the North Country Trail in our backyard.

Join us after the hikes at Railroad Square in Downtown Kalkaska for a FREE community picnic and to learn more about other projects on the North Country Trail.
