Highly recommended this weekend is the Sargeant Bay Society sponsored Triangle Lake botany hike.
Join local botany expert Kye Goodwin leaving at 10 a.m. this Sunday, July 6 from the south parking lot at Trout Lake. Explore the unique plant life around Triangle Lake. Walk begins and ends at Trout Lake. The route will include the loop trail through remnants of old-growth forest on the south side of the lake.
Consider this a “moderate” hike; appropriate sturdy footwear is advised.
