Join us for a group hike on Saturday, August 2nd! Come hike with us through a beautiful hardwood forest and along an old logging road to a tall pine path on the south side of the Little Garlic River. The hike begins at the parking lot across from Echo Lake Road on CR550. (Note: we will initially meet at the Elliott Donnelly Trailhead to spot some vehicles.)
