Celebrate the New Year with a hike on the NCT! Get an early start in fulfilling the 2026 Hike 100 Challenge!
We will meet on Tahqua Trail Road about 3/4 mile west of M-123 on the north shore of the Tahquamenon River near the river mouth and hike on the trail along the river.
Bring clothing appropriate for the weather, snowshoes or cross-country skis, water, the 10 essentials (
https://americanhiking.org/resources/10essentials/), a snack, and a camera.
Distance of the hike will depend on conditions and your abilities. This will be an out and back hike in order to avoid carpooling. The length of the hike will be determined by you -- you will be able to turn around at any time.
