Backpacking Weekend - Fife Lake Loop
Details
Interested in a nice weekend out in the woods? Maybe you want to try out some new gear or just get in shape for a bigger hike later in the year. Why not join us in backpacking the Fife Lake Loop?
The Fife Lake Loop is one of Michigan’s “triple crown” of backpacking loops. It features areas of beautiful forested trails and some amazing views of the mighty Manistee river. This trail is about 22 miles and is split fairly equally at around 11 miles per day.
We will meet at the Old US 131 State Forest Campground on Friday June 12 at 9 am. You can optionally camp here Thursday night, June 11.
Friday, we will hike North to Spring Lake State Forest Campground. We will spend Friday night here at the campground.
Saturday, we will complete the loop back to US 131 CG.
This trip requires you to have backpacking experience and provide all of your own gear and food requirements.
Cost to join us for this trip is $30 if you sign up here on Meetup or $25 if you pay via check or cash directly to Host. This cost will cover the campsite(s) for Friday night only. All left over money goes directly to the club to help with operating costs.
