Boy scout cabin to Flat River Drive
6 miles round trip: 6 miles total
I started my exploration of the North Country Trail on the northern edge of the small town of Lowell, Michigan. The trail parallels the Flat River passing through forests largely reclaimed from hardscrabble farms.

A sign marks the way along the North Country National Scenic Trail Skunk Cabbage proliferates along a stream flowing through a hollow alon g the North Country Trail near Lowell, Michigan A large pile of stones is testament to the hard and ultimately futile work to clear land for agriculture now reclaimed by forest.
