SEASONAL LETTERBOX AVAILABLE MAY THROUGH OCTOBER
The Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park is home to a variety of wildlife, one of which is the black bear. Black bears can vary in color from brown to black and range in size from 100 to 350 pounds. Black bears are wild animals and should be treated as such. When in the park there are precautions to be used to avoid bear problems. When day hiking in the park, it is important to know what to do incase you encounter a bear. Black bears are generally afraid of humans and will leave the area in a hurry, if you do encounter a bear, back away slowly, never run! Give all bears plenty of room to escape. Black bears can be a majestic part of the wilderness experience, as long as we give them the respect they deserve.
Follow county road 107 until you come to the Lake Superior trail head, stop and park. Start down the trail until you come to the “distance” sign. Turn left and from behind the sign go 6 steps. You will find your surprise inside the moss covered tree root. This is a high traffic area so please do your stamping elsewhere (before re-hiding). After you find this letterbox, continue down the trail about a mile for a great view of Lake Superior!
