Our friend Bill Goodwin will be leadinga snow Hike-Cross country Ski event this Saturday at Stony Creek. Bill is well versed on all the trails at Stony, and has offered his knowledge and time to assist those of us who are not experienced at Cross country Skiing. Equipment is available for rent at the Golf course for $10.00. The park has groomed about 75% of the trails in the M.Bike/Ski area, so the conditions should be grand for both Skiing and snow Hiking. We will be working with Bill in the future for some other Ski and outdoor activities. This was a kinda last minute scheduled activity due to the unexpected snow.

Another activity that Hiking Michigan is participating in with another organization. The Haven Hill Project is a group that has been studying the Edsel Ford estate at Highland Recreation area. The HHP team is made up of a number of Hiking Michigan members, so what better way to combine these two entities then with a History Hike. You will be amazed at some of the historical buildings and features that remain at Haven Hill, from the 1926 Edsel Ford estate. We will be visiting the Carriage house, Lodge, Pool, Tennis court & Fountain. The combination of History and the beautiful rolling hills at Highland are simply Wonderful!

We don't have this one completely worked out yet, so here is the preliminaries. Upon request from many of our members we will be doing a Winter tent Camping event, along with a first timer Snow Shoeing afternoon. What we are trying to do here is give those of you who want to try winter camping, or who would like to see and learn some of what it takes to do this, some knowledge on how it all works. On that same afternoon we are trying to schedule a first timers Snow Shoeing activity. Again to get people familiar with Snow Shoeing. We are working on a sponsor to supply us with snow shoes. Details will follow.

News Articles about Hiking Michigan

HIKING MICHIGAN is just a group of people who's goals are to educate and help all people to understand and enjoy Nature and outdoor activities for the knowledge and health of it. We started out giving lectures and talks to local Libraries and grade school classes in 1998, and have expanded to include a Bimonthly NewsLetter, a HIKING GROUP with regular scheduled Nature style Hikes and outdoor activities based in teaching proper respect, understanding and knowledge of plants, animals, insects & other nature related issues. As well as having a good time outdoors, we hope to show how all of nature interconnects with one another to make up the diverse habitats & ecosystems we all enjoy here in our state of Michigan. HIKING MICHIGAN is very involved with the S.E. Michigan Park systems, not just the State Parks, but the Metro and County Parks as well. We work closely with the various Park Supervisors and Rangers to assist in improvement projects, information sharing & mapping park lands, special events and general promotion of the Parks and their activities. It costs nothing to anyone interested in receiving our Bi-Monthly NewsLetter, with outdoor articles on local Parks activities, Organized Hikes - Events, and Nature knowledge. It costs nothing to download the various Maps and informational sheets available on this web site and Bulletin Board. Just about everything is free for just sending us an email, which makes you an automatic member.
