Sack Lake Hemlocks Conservation Area Hike and Lunch

Registration has closed for this program

Join North Lakeland Discovery Center staff, Northwoods Land Trust staff, and Sack Lake conservation easement landowner on a guided hike to explore old growth trees and wild lakes. The 2008 conservation easement on the property includes approximately 215 acres and over 1.5 miles of shoreline along 3 lakes.  We will start the hike on the easement property and then walk onto the adjacent 129-acre Sack Lake Hemlocks Conservation Area owned by Northwoods Land Trust. The massive yellow birch and hemlock are remnants of the past and a key component of many old growth forests in northern Wisconsin. The state endangered pine marten is also known to frequent this area.  Participants will be hiking approximately 4 miles on moderately difficult terrain utilizing a combination of trails and venturing off-trail as well.  Following the hike, a lunch consisting of hot dogs, chips and refreshments will be provided.  There is an outhouse facility located on this property. 

Friday, 9 AM - 2 PM.  Registration required by 9/6.  Registered participants will be emailed more details about the trip but should plan on meeting at the Discovery Center at 9 AM to ride out to the trailhead in our van.  Travel time to the trailhead is 50 mins. $45/Non-Member and $40/Member.
