Help! I need quick hiking information

[Chippewa29 13]

I just got a call from the dad in my troop who was making the reservations for our September backpacking trip. Apparently, the support staff at council lost our reservation to go backpacking that was made in June and now someone else has been booked in our spot. Long story short, we are now scrambling trying to find another backpacking trail to hike on next month.

 

I've been searching the net for the past hour trying to find other hiking trails in Michigan or northern Ohio. I've already tried all the council sites, but they haven't been helpful. Does anyone know of a book or website that lists different backpacking trails in Michigan or northern Ohio that we could check out.

How long is your trek? When I was a kid, my troop used to do a couple of days on the Pottawottomi Trail around Ann Arbor. We liked it because the trail leads through a town called Hell, MI. When we got back, we could say we'd been through Hell together . . . and we weren't even cussing!

For a longer trek, try http://www.hikemore.com/hiking/hiking-trails/michigan-hiking-trails.html It goes through the Huron-Manistee forest from Lake Michigan (west) to Lake Huron (east.) I'm not familiar with the trail, but I am familiar with the area. It's fantastic and about 3 hours north of Detroit on the East side.

If you move out to Washington state I could give lots of trails.

How about your State Park system? You do have a State Park system, don't you?
