K College Get Outside Challenge

Congrats on 300 miles on the NCT! Upon reaching Yankee Springs State Recreation Area and the beginning of the West Michigan Section of the NCT, characterized by hiking on “smaller parcels of public land including two State Game Areas, and city and county parks. The Trail also follows various pathways such as the White Pine Trail, and Cannon and Ada Township Trails.” While you’re here, you might take a detour for a paddle on one of Yankee Springs many lakes, or a mountain bike ride along the network of intermediate-level trails crisscrossing the park. Once you’ve had your fill, it’s time to get back on to the NCT to reach your next 100 mile landmark, exiting the northern terminus of the Yankee Springs Rec Area near Middleville, MI.
