Event: Iron Belle Hike and Campout
Dates: 6/5 – 6/6
Location: Fort Custer State Park and the North Country Trail
Attendance: 26 camped and 19 hiked, scouts and parents
About this event: The troop camped overnight at Fort Custer State Park. We set up camp and played games and made a camp fire. Then we got up early had a quick breakfast and left for the trail. We hiked 10mi on the North Country Trail for the hiking merit badge and ate our trail mix we made at camp. We hiked this trail because it was part of the DNR’s dedication of the Iron Belle Trail- a 1,273-mile hiking route follows the North Country National Scenic Trail between Calhoun and Gogebic Counties. It traverses the west side of the Lower Peninsula, and borders Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula. The DNR called all scouts, boys and girls, to help with the dedication by hiking a section of the trail. Troop 623 was giving a 10 mile section near Fort Custer in Battle Creek. We hiked the 10 mile section and had lots of fun winding through wooded areas, fields, and even a large dairy farm. Click here for more information about the Iron Belle Trail.
