Landowner Rights & Trail User Responsibilities

The Waskahegan Trail is a unique resource that exists only because of the generosity of landowners. Before you set foot on the trail:

  1. Know the landowner rights and the trail user responsibilities.
  2. Check the trail conditions

Kopp Lake Hike

by

Fourteen people came out to the Kopp Lake hike. This was the first hike of the season in which the trail was recently maintained. The trail maintenance crew did an excellent job.

The weather was comfortably warm and the air was relatively pure, as the recent rain had taken out the smoke.

This trail has a unique “kitty corner” stile that connects the trail from one farm to a diagonally-opposite farm, while avoiding the adjacent farms in the other corners.

A highlight of the hike was watching the lama herding cattle in the field adjacent to our lunch area.

Thank you to everyone for leading the hike and to Trail Maintenance for clearing the trail. You can find more photos on Flickr. (While you are there, check out these photos from Trail Maintenance this past week. The baby owl is priceless!)

Ministik Berg Hike

by

Eight people came out to hike a combination of Waskahegan and Nature Conservancy Trail in the Ministik area. The weather was perfect for the season, and there was only minimal smoke.

One of the highlights was this garter snake.

We also saw a rare carniverous plant in a special fen area.

As Peter and Linda were there, we got the answers to all our “What is that?” questions.

Thank you to Delaney for leading the hike and to Trail Maintenance for clearing the trail. You can find more photos on Flickr.
