| We had our first HIKE as a group, here at Stony Creek, some 14 years ago. We will be retracing that first Hike into the main Nature Trails, along the river on a trail no one knows about, and over to the far side of the first lake off the river. This Hike will cover some territory, so have them new Christmas Hiking Boots on. There will be some beautiful views of the river from the highest cuts in the Park, and some secret paths that Mushroom hunters and only a few even know about. If snow permits we will even sneak past the old Farmers, back 40 area, a great place for Deer and Turkeys. Come & explore. | OK....if you are looking for some challenging and hilly terrain, in some of the more remote areas of S.E.MI., then join us at Ortonville Recreation area for some Link trails exploring. If you would prefer something less strenuous and still scenic and beautiful, then join Kim & Rosie, for a Hike at Independence Oaks county Park. Both Hikes start at 12 noon. The downloadable Flyer below has two separate maps to the specific meeting places for each Hike. We hope you get out and enjoy a S.E.MI. winter afternoon at one of our two scheduled Hikes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| No better way to start of 2012 then with a snow Hike. We are participating the the DNR’s “SHOE YEAR’S DAY HIKE” Event at Pontiac Lake Rec. area. Special guest for this Hike is Naturalist Dan Farmer, who will be part of an Animal Tracks Hike. Our good friend Michael Boensch will be along for searching out geocaches, and we will through in a bit of sledding as we cross some of the largest hills in Oakland county. We start and finish or hiking at a Campfire located in the ORG. Campground. What a great way to start off the 2012 year of outdoor activities. I hope you will join us. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| HIKING MICHIGAN is 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 now expanded to include a 4 times a year 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 beautiful state of Michigan. HIKING MICHIGAN is very involved with the S.E. Michigan Park systems, not just the State Parks, but the Metro, County Parks and Nature Preserves as well. Join Us. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
