Michigan Adventurers Club

This week's Humpday Workout Hike will be at Maybury State Park.
Let's meet at 6:15 pm in the West Parking Lot area
We will begin hiking promptly at 6:30 pm for about 5-6 miles on various trails, at a moderately fast pace of 3 miles per hour (20 mins per mile) for approximately 2 hours.

Our hike will be in the dark from start to finish and the trails will most likely be icy/snowy. Be sure to bring a headlamp or flashlight, traction devices for your shoes (yak tracks and/or hiking poles) and water to drink. Dress for the weather!!!

This is a Fitness Hike; the pace is approximately 20 minutes per mile, which includes elevation changes and a variety of uneven terrain. Our expectation is for the entire group to maintain the leader's pace, and remain together for the duration of the hike.

Important to know:

Join us for a Friday evening hike at Pontiac Lake State Recreation Area.
***Use the location in the event for the trailhead. If you do a search in your GPS, it's likely to put you at the wrong spot. Meet at the main beach parking lot at the West end of the parking lot near the trailhead kiosk. Enter from Williams Lake Road. Google maps and some other gps’s still seem to direct people to the old park entrance off of Gale Rd - which is now closed. The park moved the entrance to Williams Lake Rd a few years ago.
We'll begin hiking at 6:15 and will hike for 2-3 hours at ~ 3 mile an hour pace. There are a couple small hills.
There are a few options for an after-hike drink if anyone is interested.

Make sure to bring a headlamp or flashlight.
The parking area is within the state park and requires a Michigan Recreation Passport for your vehicle or park entry fee.
