Join the NCTA Jordan Valley 45° Chapter for a hike on March 16! We will meet at Bayfront Park (by the Bear River, mile 616.5) at 10:00 a.m. and head out by 10:30 to ferry everyone to the hike’s start at Kipp Road. (608.5). For a two-mile shorter hike, you could start at N. Conway Road and US-131 (611). Or, you could start at Bayfront Park and walk north to meet the southbound group. (See map and mile markers here.)

The trailhead at Kipp Road is the northern terminus of the Jordan 45° Chapter. The first mile is off-road on the new reroute we blazed last fall. The second mile is road walk to Conway Road. After Conway Road, the trail is paved trails or sidewalk. Along the way we will pass Round Lake, walk along Little Traverse Bay and pass through Bayfront Park.

After the hike we will ferry drivers back to the start at Kipp Road to recover cars. We will also gather for pops and lunch at one of the local establishments (Duffy’s, Beard’s, or Petoskey Brewing Co.). Come prepared for the weather, it can be windy on the bay. Bring plenty of water and snacks.
