Looking for an engaging activity for the whole family?
Pick up a Forest Finds scavenger hunt sheet from the visitor center. This multi-trail scavenger hunt will take you and your crew to some of our favorite places in the park. Along the way, you might find some wild blueberries, an eagle's nest, cool rock outcroppings, and more!
The scavenger hunt covers multiple trails that have various difficulty ratings. If you don't feel like hiking, you can bike too! Consider renting an e-bike from Downriver Canoe Company.
If you can't make it on National Trails Day, that's okay! This scavenger hunt will be available for the entire month of June.
