Light the Way at Duncan Bay

Lantern-lit hiking March 12
By Jillian Manning | March 5, 2022

Join the Little Traverse Conservancy, Cheboygan Brewing Company, and Friends of Island Lake State Recreation Area for a peaceful evening stroll along Lake Huron. On March 12, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., folks are invited to register for a lantern-lit hike at the Duncan Bay Nature Preserve. These “lantern hikes” have become a popular series and offer a special sense of magic in the snowy months. This final hike of the season is intended to observe the spring equinox and bid farewell to the final days of winter. (We hope.) The trail is roughly one mile round trip and includes a boardwalk above the wetlands leading toward the Lake Huron shoreline. The event is free—though donations are appreciated—and is suitable for all ages. Register and get more details at landtrust.org/events.
