www.GahaganNature.org Located in Roscommon Michigan, the Marguerite Gahagan Nature Preserve resulted from Marguerite's land and monetary endowment in 1997. Ms.

Gahagan lived and wrote from her cabin and founded one of Michigan's premier conservation newspapers, The North Woods Call. Today, the preserve educates school-aged children from 4 counties about nature and the natural world. Visitors are welcome to hike the trails, visit Tank Creek via the boardwalks and deck overlooks or participate in our community environmental programs. Our main trail is asphalt for accessibility. See our website for details.

We wanted to let our visitors know that recent weather has caused some tree damage at Gahagan. Our team is already hard at work clearing fallen branches and cleaning up.

If you choose to hike at the Preserve, please use caution as we continue to assess the trails —some paths may have debris or partially blocked sections. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue the cleanup process.

Thank you!

Due to the recent warm temperatures - we've got some icy trails out at the Preserve! We will be canceling our Snowshoe Hike + Winter Tree ID event scheduled for Saturday morning, Jan. 10th due to these unsafe conditions.

Please use caution if you choose to visit the Preserve.
