Located in the scenic and remote Hiawatha National Forest, this short loop trail circles around the 145-acre Colwell Lake providing hikers with nice water views and lots of opportunity for viewing wildlife. The natural surface trail is wide and easy to follow with minimal change in elevation making it a great choice for hikers of all skill levels.

This out-and-back trail leads to a scenic waterfall located in the remote wilderness area of Hiawatha National Forest. The trail begins by following an old jeep road to the valley floor where a spur trail takes off and leads to the falls. The trail runs through heavily wooded terrain that provides a lot of solitude and opportunity for viewing wildlife. The trail is not very long but there are a few sections that may require walking through wet spots or water as it nears the falls.

This loop hike explores a large section of Grand Island, an off-shore island located in Lake Superior just north of Munising. The hike starts from the boat landing and goes clockwise to complete a loop that covers the southern portion of the west half of the island. Scenery along the way includes cliff-top views of the lake and Pictured Rocks cliffs as well as lots of hiking through heavily wooded terrain that is home to a variety of wildlife. The island is accessible by a passenger ferry that typically runs between the months of May to October but check current schedules to ensure the ferry is running. The island is known for an abundance of bugs during some of the summer months so come prepared with lots of bug repellant.
