(Snowshoeing the Split Rock river 2009)I didn't think of posting this earlier (drat and bother!) but there is an organized snowshoe hike on a new segment of the Superior Hiking Trail Saturday! Weather should be decent as they are predicting drizzle for the evening.
The hike facilitator has already scouted the trail and reports back that it is in good condition. It took him only 90 minutes, but he has 4' long legs and covers some serious ground. Give it two hours for us normal legged people.
From the Superior Hiking Trail website:
March 6 Showshoe Hike 10:00 a.m. New section - Gun Club Road to County 301 Trailhead
3.4 miles. The trail moves through mixed forests to scenic Silver Creek, following the creek with views of snow-draped white pine on the opposite bank. Meet at the County Road 301 Trailhead. At Hwy 61 milepost 28.5, turn left on Lake Co. Rd 3 and go 2 miles. Turn left on Lake Co. Rd 301 (Fors Rd) and go 0.3 miles to the parking lot on left.
All SHTA hikes begin at 10:00 a.m. rain or shine. All hikes are free of charge and open to the public. Each hike is led by a member of the Superior Hiking Trail Association and includes an orientation and briefing by an area naturalist. Wear sturdy boots or hiking shoes, bring lunch, beverages and insect repellant.
