The North Country Trail runs through the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge just north of Detroit Lakes. Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge was established as a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife. The abundance of lakes, rivers, and marshes along with the diverse landscape of dense forest to open meadows attracts a plethora of wildlife. Our two-hour hike will cover a small portion of this immense refuge. Bring your birding binoculars and add to your lifetime bird list.
After the hike, we will gather for food and fellowship at Brygge, Taps, and Taste restaurant in Detroit Lakes.
