The North Country Trail...Hike the Northwoods

The North Country National Scenic Trail is America’s longest National Scenic Trail stretching from New York to North Dakota, linking 7 states and 10 National Forests and 150 Public Lands. Did you know there’s 110 miles of continuous North Country Scenic Trail in Northern Wisconsin? That's a lot of great fall hiking and leaf spotting right in our backyard. 

Strap on your hikers and hit the trail for a day trip or multi-day adventure. For a detailed trail map and everything you need to know about the trail check out http://northcountrytrail.org/trail/states/wisconsin/

Before you head out make sure you have the essentials: A Camelbak or Osprey hydration pack or day pack, water bottle  trekking poles, hiking socks, head protection, such as a Buff or Stormy Kromer cap and snacks.
