  • Welcome to the most confusing and marked trail I've ever hiked! Grand Rouge Park sits at the beautiful intersection of the Rouge and Grand Rivers, but the trail system needs work. I struggled to find where the trail began, constantly had to recheck signs and maps, and then lost the trail completely and (quickly) walked back to the park.

  • Welcome back to the North Country Trail! Today we find that maps are not always correct. Although I pre-planned my route and used All Trails to map the trail, I quickly discovered that the map was wildly inaccurate I had a bit of adventure finding the trail's new location. I hope the NCT Association can correct these maps soon. The trail was not well marked or well kept on the new portion.
