What we're about

Michigan Adventurers Club is a 501(c)4 non-profit whose mission is to build community spirit through our adventures together while exploring nature and discovering interesting places.

Meet with local outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the wonderful state of Michigan! Activities include (though are not limited to) hiking, camping, kayaking, canoeing, yoga, rock climbing, biking, cross country skiing, skating, and many other adventures.

This group welcomes all ages. As we have grown, we have gained many members, organizers, friends and memories! If you enjoy the activities listed here, bring your experience and enthusiasm and come join us for an awesome adventure!

If you're new to the group and looking to join us don't be shy! Please tell us about yourself and a little of what you're looking for from the club, to help us understand what type of events you may be looking for. In addition to this, we require a real photo of yourself so we will know who you are and can welcome you when you participate in your first event. If you have any questions or concerns, please be sure to contact the Organizer/Co-Organizer and we will be happy to address them for you. Thanks and hope to see you on an adventure soon!

Hiking in Pontiac Lake (12ish miles, 4.5ish hours)

Needs a location

Link to meeting spot: https://goo.gl/maps/4pN5AXNGuTXHPc4s7 *** MASKS ARE REQUIRED FOR THE HIKE *** I believe that maintaining active and outdoor social events during this time is very important but we are clearly in a crises. I want to do my best not to contribute to the crises and therefore am making masks mandatory for the hike. THE PLAN: We are once again going to intrude upon the horses and hike in their territory because the horse always seem to get the best trails (and they don't even appreciate this fact). The hike will done at a moderately fast pace (~3ish mph) with multiple small stops along the way. NOTES: - It is hunting season, please wear something bright - Friendly furry things on leashes are allowed - Bathrooms might be available along the hike but I am not sure...* THE MEETING SPOT: We will be at the very end of the parking lot. There are two entrances to the parking lot: Gale Road and Williams Lake Road. But, the Gale Road entrance is often closed and the Williams Lake entrance can be a bit tricky to navigate. I recommend that you GIVE YOURSELF A FEW EXTRA MINUTES to find the spot. Pleasantly note that we are not delaying the hike because you are lost. COSTS: This is a state rec area so you need a Michigan Recreation Pass. If you do not have one, then it is likely a ranger will put a $17 ticket on your car -- paying that gets you the Rec Pass. See you on the trail, Charlie Release of Liability: The organizers of the Michigan Adventurers Club are volunteers and not professional guides.
