Black Friday "OptOutside Hike" at Island Lake Recreation Area
Island Lake Recreation Area, 6301 Kensington Rd, Brighton, MI, US***Not an official Sierra Club event, this event is hosted by the Friends of Island Lake***
Avoid shopping and #OptOutside on Black Friday with the Friends of Island Lake, Crossroads Sierra Club, and other groups.
This is a 5-mile hike on the hikers-only Hickory Ridge trail, with lots of options to drop off if you prefer a shorter distance.
As this tends to be a huge event, plan on a "hike your own hike" experience and take a picture of the trail map when we start. The group may be too large to try to keep together.
The hike will begin in the Kent Lake parking lot (go straight past toll booth, first lot on left) near the boat launch area (west side). If that lot fills up, proceed to the second lot and follow the paved path back to the trailhead.
Dress for the weather and wear bright clothing if possible due to hunting season.
Cost: free, but entry to the park may require a state park pass (often waived on Black Friday).
