Gaylord to Cheboygan Trail - Report

Mr. Neff reports that the trail from Gaylord to Vanderbilt is now open and is in great shape. It is a nice 9 mile bike ride from the soccer field trail head to just north of the H&H Tube plant. (18 miles round trip)

The 10 mile section from Vanderbilt to Wolverine is also reported to be open.

Scouts working on the hiking and cycling merit badges are encouraged to consider this trail for one or more of the required rides or hikes. Both merit badges require that scouts plan the treks that are taken.

Scouts needing a 5 mile hike or 10 mile bike ride for rank advancement could also take advantage of the Gaylord to Cheboygan Trail.

Gaylord to Cheboygan Trail updates are posted at http://www.trailscouncil.org/.

Scouts may complete the merit badge or rank advancement requirements on their own but they are STRONGLY encouraged to use the BUDDY SYSTEM or take a parent when working on these requirements.

If a Scout plans a trek, other Scouts will come.
