Hike – Meet at Warner Creek Pathway Trailhead on M32 (mile 658.75), which is about 3.0 miles west of US131. We will gather at 9:30am and hit the trail promptly at 10:00. Before the hike, we need to post cars at Dobleski Rd. and afterwards ferry people back to M32.

Long Hike Option – Hike counter-clockwise on the Warner Creek Loop (about 3.0 miles) with a stop along the way to check out the new bridge and beaver deceiver (mile 660.0) on Warner Creek/O’Brien Pond. We will then continue the Warner Creek loop to M32 (658.0) and walk the hilly section between M-32 and US 131 (about 4 miles), cross 131 and hike downhill to Dobleski Rd. (654.0).

Short hike option – To shave off a couple miles, some may want to skip the Warner Creek loop and just stay on the NCT (see map, ~4.75 miles).

The Warner Creek Loop is mostly flat but some hills along Warner Creek. The M32 to US131 section is hilly, but high and dry. Watch the weather forecast and dress accordingly, there may still be snow in spots. We can picnic on the trail, so pack some meals and drinks. If we have a quorum, afterwards, we may go to Larry’s (on US131 just north of M32) for pops and fries.

The Jordan Valley 45° Chapter’s trail runs from Starvation Lake Rd. (near Mancelona) to Kipp Rd. in Harbor Springs, 79 miles of awesome valleys, hills and wooded trail. Over the course of the year, we try to cover all 79 miles. Monthly hikes are usually on the 3rd Saturday of the month.
