Kehl Lake Natural Area features 2-mile trail network on moderately sloped terrain with 100-year-old hemlocks and old-growth white pines which surround the lake provide food and cover for wildlife, particularly birds, and contribute to the lake’s exceptional water quality. Its close proximity to Lake Michigan makes Kehl Lake part of a critical flyway for migrating birds and it is also part of an extensive wildlife corridor of protected lands at the tip of the peninsula. There is a viewing platform over marshland. Please note that during wet times of year, like early spring, portions of the trail can be very wet or underwater. It is recommended that you wear waterproof boots if you visit during these times.
