Many people coming to the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park are looking for a wildlife experience. Many people overlook the smaller animals in the park, for the big ones like bears, wolves and even moose. The park does have a population of both black bears and wolves; however there isn’t a permanent population of moose. The smaller animals can offer a great experience as well. The park has animals such as squirrels, otters, beavers, fox, many birds and even porcupines. Don’t forget to look around you while hiking in the park, even the smallest of animals are a great sight to see in the wild. There are also two other boxes hidden on this trail, “Rockin’ Robin” and “Porkies Fest”.

Start this adventure on the Nature trail at the Wilderness Visitor Center. This trail beings near the entrance of the center. After reading about the Canada May flowers, look up! Directly ahead about 8 paces, you’ll see a white birch tree whose roots are tangled in a fallen tree, so old it’s just a rise in the ground. Is the moose behind the tree? No! A moose is too big to fit but there is a spot behind the tree, under a root, that’s just the right size for this little treasure.
