Explore the headwaters of the St. Croix and Bois Brule Rivers Saturday, February 18th on a group snowshoe hike along the North Country National Scenic Trail. The two mile walk will pass through the cedar bog in the Brule River State Forest where the two rivers begin. Hike leader Teresa Nelson, hiking coordinator with the North Country Trail Association's Brule-St. Croix Chapter, says, "The Brule Bog is a winter wonderland due to the snowstorms this winter."
Hikers will meet at 10 AM at the trailhead at Palmer's Landing on St. Croix Lake, 10625 E. County Highway A near Solon Springs. Participants should bring snowshoes, poles, water, and snacks, and dress warmly. Snowshoes may be rented from Superior Adventures at UW-Superior,715-395-4651.
