“A nice little trail that runs along the shoreline, just back in the trees for most of the time. ”

Description

Access to this trail really can occur at any point along it where there is boat access, which is a unique part of hiking on the island. The trail is singletrack leading through the woods with little elevation change and a couple of great views of the Les Cheneaux Islands.
