2010 North Country Trail

Annual Conference

August 5-8      Ashland, Wisconsin

**A big Wisconsin/UP Michigan Thank You to everyone who attended Conference 2010!  We had a terrific time, hope you did too.  See you in Dayton, Ohio in August 2011!**

Not Only A Conference but A Vacation Destination!

The North Country Trail Association’s 2010 National Conference location will be on the majestic south shore of Lake Superior. With the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center, Copper Falls State Park, Madeline Island with its Big Bay State Park, and the very popular City of Bayfield all within a short distance from the Conference site, this is more than a Conference.

A two-night pre-conference backpacking trip is planned on the NCT’s longest segment of Gold Star certified trail.  During the conference you will have the opportunity to hike on sections of the North Country Trail within all three Wisconsin chapters and one section in the UP of Michigan. Planned hikes vary from wilderness to recently completed boardwalks, small creeks to large inland lakes and waterfalls,  ”historic” to newly created North Country Trail. Interpreters are planned for all eleven scheduled hikes, with expertise ranging from Naturalist to Historian. We do truly have a section of NCT for everyone!

There will be a chance to tour the Apostle Islands on a cruise ship or canoe  the Brule River, a historic route of exploration.  Children’s activities are planned at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center and the AmericInn has a “Splashland” water park.  Add great food and entertainment at night and what do you have? Not only a conference, but a Vacation Destination.  This is a conference you won’t want to miss!

Please join us…

We’ll see you in Wisconsin in August 2010
