Hiawatha Shore-to-Shore Hike the North Tahquamenon Wilderness
This hike is a great way to see the UP Wilderness between County Road 500 and Tahquamenon Falls. Enjoy a day in the woods with the Hiawatha Shore-to-Shore Chapter that includes views of Northern Bogs and White Pine ridges.
This section of trail has no crossroads, no ORV/ATV trails, it is truly a wilderness hike.
Bring: Clothing appropriate for the conditions, water, camera, insect repellant, the 10 essentials of day hiking, water, and a snack if you like. Bring a friend or two (or come and make a few friends)!
Meet on County Road 500 (also known as Northwestern Road) at the NCT crossing of the Little Two-Hearted River, about 3.5 miles north of M-123. CR500 travels north of M-123, 4.5 miles west of the Upper Falls.
See the interactive map here and look for mile number 434 (GPS Location: 46.60562 -85.338918 Lat/Long).
The length of the hike will vary depending on your abilities, motivation and the conditions that day. The carpool, long option is about 7 miles back to our vehicles. Shorter options include an up-to-4-mile hike out and back hike from where we are parked.
We will need to record your name and contact information before the hike.
After the hike we will gather at a nearby location for refueling and refreshment.
A Michigan Recreation Passport is needed to park in Tahquamenon Falls State Park.
