⚠️ Trail Notice – Swinging Bridge Closed ⚠️

Due to storm damage from last week's severe weather, a tree fell onto the approach ramp of the swinging bridge at Trail's End Camp. As a result, the swinging bridge is closed until further notice.

The trail system remains open. Visitors who choose to continue beyond the bridge area may access the trail by crossing Devil's Creek at their own risk. Creek conditions can vary depending on recent rainfall and water levels, so please use caution and good judgment.

This summer, our caretaker has dedicated many hours to maintaining the trail system. The trails have been regularly mowed, and new trail signage has been installed to make navigation easier for visitors. We appreciate the time and effort that has gone into keeping the trails in great condition.

Because maintenance equipment can no longer access the trails beyond Devil's Creek, maintenance of those sections will be limited for the remainder of the season and may not be possible under current conditions.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we assess the situation. Any future updates regarding trail access will be shared as they become available.

🎆 HAPPY 4TH OF JULY FROM TRAIL’S END CAMP! 🎆

250 years of America — and a perfect day to celebrate the freedom to get outside and enjoy it. ❤️🤍💙

If you know Trail’s End, you know what today is really about: fresh air, quiet trails, and a place that lets you slow down for a bit.

The hiking trails are there for anyone who wants to take a walk, stretch their legs, and enjoy the Northwoods in their own way and at their own pace.

No schedule. No rush. Just a reminder to step outside, breathe it in, and enjoy the day.

Wishing you a safe, fun, and happy Independence Day from all of us at Trail’s End Camp! 🎆
