BWCA Powwow Trail – 15 Years After Pagami Creek Fire
·OnlineOnlineOnline only. See below to obtain link.
What once seemed like an ambitious and far-fetched goal to clear the Powwow Trail has become a reality, thanks to the vision and perseverance of dedicated volunteers working in partnership with the US Forest Service.
Today, hikers are able to backpack the trail in three days, and some have even completed the thirty-mile journey in a single day. However, the work is ongoing, as storms continue to bring down new tangles of dead trees each year, presenting new challenges for trail maintenance.
Attendees will gain insight into the value of volunteering in the Superior National Forest, the positive impact of these efforts on preserving historic hiking trails, and practical information about how to experience the Powwow Trail themselves.
