REGIONAL— If you’d like to explore the Lost Lake Peatland Scientific and Natural Area but don’t know where to start, you’ll want to take advantage of a planned kayak tour of the area set for Friday, July 26, from 7-9 p.m.
SNA naturalist Arika McGraw will lead the tour and those who would like to take part should bring their own kayak (or canoe) and reserve their spot as soon as possible. Participation will be capped at 20.
Participants will meet at the public landing on Lost Lake, located about seven miles west of Tower. From the lake, participants will be able to see parts of the SNA and may even catch a glimpse of some of the plants and wildlife that live in the peatland, all while enjoying a summer sunset.
Participants should dress for the weather and the presence of mosquitoes. Life jackets are required. There are no maintained trails or recreational facilities within the SNA.
