The overlooks offer beautiful views of Muskellunge Lake. It’s an ideal spot to look for spring flowers and birds. Also keep an eye out for deer, ruffed grouse, coyote tracks and fisher tracks.”
\n?<\/strong> North Trout Nature Trail 1 mile. \u00a0 “…one of our easiest nature trails to hike. This trail is a 1-mile loop trail that meanders around a mature black spruce-tamarack bog. The trail also winds its way along the Trout Lake shoreline, offering a beautiful view of the lake. This is a wonderful trail to hike in spring because of the abundance of wildflowers. Watch for the moccasin flower, trailing arbutus, Canadian mayflower, start flower, blueberry and barren strawberry.” \u00a0 Call ahead to be sure it is easy enough for you.<\/p>\n
