Lantern-lit Volunteering (Saturday, January 09, 2027)

Sat, 09 Jan 2027 22:00:00 GMT

Hike a lantern-lit trail through a portion of the Ludington State Park, including a stop at a campfire where hot chocolate and marshmallow roasting are available. If conditions allow, about 40 pairs of snowshoes are available to borrow at no cost. FLSP volunteers can help people new to snowshoeing strap them on. If there isn't sufficient snow, the hikes are by foot and still present a nice way to enjoy the park on a winter's evening. The lighted trail begins at the Warming Shelter, located next to the parking lot at the end of State Highway M-116. Participation is free, but a Recreation Passport is required for vehicle entry to Ludington State Park.
