Owl Hooting Snowshoe Hike: Exploring the North Country Trail at Dusk!

Description

EXPLORING THE NORTH COUNTRY TRAIL

A series of 12 hikes (and one canoe trip) will be held on the North Country Trail as we celebrate 125 years of Minnesota State Parks and Trails and 100 years of the National Park Service. Scheduled one per month, these hikes are sponsored by both Itasca State Park and Laurentian Lakes Chapters of the National North Country Trail. Explore the different sections on the scenic national hiking trail system as it passes through remote portions of Itasca State Park.

Trying for the 125 Miles by Bike, Boot or Boat Challenge or the National Parks Service 100 miles? These events can help you add a little distance.

Join us for a late afternoon invigorating snowshoe hike as we make a loop past Sibilant, Iron Corners and Josephine Lakes. February is the time of year that owls begin to call as they establish nesting territories.  The hike will go through an ideal area to potentially see and hear barred owls. Portions of this 3 mile route will be a strenuous.
