Trail Conditions – Aside from the half mile downhill on Deadman’s Hill (short hike only), this hike is on fairly flat terrain. Sights include the Jordan River, an unnamed beaver pond, various springs & recent improvements under Deadman’s hill, and the world famous beaver deceiver at O’Brien Pond.

Watch the forecast and dress for the weather. Bring water, snacks and a camera. Snowshoes won’t necessary this time. If you can’t bring a friend, one will be provided. If we have a quorum, afterwards we may go to the D&K Bar & Grill (formerly known as Larry’s) on US131 just south of M32 for pops and fries.

The Jordan Valley 45 Chapter trail runs from Starvation Lake Rd. near Mancelona to Kipp Rd. in Harbor Springs, about 80 miles of awesome hills, valleys and wooded trails.
