Carp River Hike

Scouts - inspiring future generations

High adventure, that's where Scouts find fun. Today we took another step toward high adventure with a quick shake-down hike along Carp River to Unnamed Morgan Falls. While on route, we saw some of the handiwork of an Eagle Scout who had gone before.

Six Scouts, two siblings, a couple of dogs, and six adults hit the trail for a relatively short three miles. The trek gave the boys a chance to test out packs and boots. This will be useful as we undertake longer and more difficult hikes.

When we reached the falls, we offloaded our gear, uploaded some lunch, and explored the area. The mosquitoes were about Yooper-normal as were the fish. That is to say, the mosquitoes bit and the fish did not. However, luck was with us and we made it back to the cars before the rain hit.

I think we'll be back. The mountain biking trails thereabouts looked quite inspiring.
