Description:
We will meet at the Lake McFarland car camping area (at the end of the Arrowhead Trail) on Thursday night, May 21. On Friday morning, we will canoe across Lake McFarland toward Pine Lake.
We will set up a base camp either at the campsite on the spit of land between McFarland and Pine Lake or further in on the north side of Pine Lake. From this base, we will hike in daily to clear our assigned four-mile segment of the Border Route Trail, located between the McFarland-East Pike Lake portage and the Pine-East Pike Lake portage.
We will return on Monday, May 25. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided, but participants are responsible for bringing their own snacks.
