Summer is just around the corner and there’s no better way to welcome it than with a good walk in the woods. Join us for a group hike at Veronica Valley Park (formerly a golf course), one of Leelanau County’s most peaceful pockets of nature, where meadows stretch wide and ponds shimmer under the sun.

We’ll be winding through grassy trails, crossing bridges, and pausing to take in the small wonders along the way. This time of year the forest wetlands come alive: keep an eye out for baby amphibians near Merbert Creek! Summer is also the season of turtles, dragonflies, trout, water fowl, and snakes at Veronica Valley. Let’s see what we can see, together!
