McCarthy Beach State Park: Minnesota DNR
Hiking Club Miles: 3.0
Miles Earned On: 09/06/14
Critter Card Found On: 09/02/11
Geocaching notes: Our first state park over Labor Day weekend. Nice park by the lake. Fun find.
Avian Card Found On: 09/06/14
Hiking notes: Parking was about a mile from the park entrance, off of Pickerel Lake road. Parking puts you near a spur trail for the Hiking Club trail. The spur trail (there and back again) adds almost another mile to the hike.
Park comments: It was only Sept 6th, and the park was already closed for the season. Good thing Kathy gave us notes on where to park for the Hiking Club trail, otherwise I doubt we would have found it. Would like to see this park spend more money on its roads and trails versus the beach.

Hiking Club Trail
Wonder why the trail is called that? We never saw a big hole.
