Marquette – The Department of Natural Resources will host a Becoming an Outdoors Woman kayaking and hiking workshop on Saturday, September 17 at Harlow Lake and Hogback Mountain in Marquette.
This “Beyond Becoming an Outdoors Woman” event is designed for women who already have some experience with kayaking and hiking, but who would like to expand upon their skills. Beginning at 8:30 a.m., participants will hike to the top of Hogback Mountain in the morning to begin an out and back hike that will take about three hours and includes some rugged terrain and light scrambling.
A picnic lunch will be provided, followed by several hours of paddling instruction on Harlow Lake, with time to explore the lake and try some technical maneuvers with guidance from an experienced instructor.
The registration fee for this class is $20. Kayaks and necessary equipment can be rented for an additional $35, or participants are welcome to bring their own kayak, along with a paddle, paddle float, bilge pump and PFD.
Enrollment is limited to six and the registration deadline is Friday, Sept. 2. The registration form, maps and other event information can be found online at www.michigan.gov/bow. For more information, contact Sharon Pitz at 228-6561.
