The Cable Natural History Museum established the Forest Lodge Nature Trail in 1968. Located about nine miles east of Cable, Wisconsin, the Forest Lodge Nature Trail offers hikers and snowshoers a 1.5-mile and a 3-mile loop through woods, bog and fields. The snowshoe trails are ungroomed. Along the trail are superb examples of many unique natural features of the north woods, including glacial erratics, old-growth white pine trees, carnivorous bog-dwelling pitcher plants, and a wide variety of wildflowers, birds and other wildlife.
In 1999, the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest acquired the property that the trail is on as a generous gift from Mary Griggs Burke, a local resident and founder of the Cable Natural History Museum. The Museum and the Forest Service share the goals of education, research and interpretive opportunities for the public, and work together to preserve and manage the Forest Lodge Nature Trail.
Stop by the Museum at 13470 County Highway M in Cable and pick up a free interpretive booklet that will help guide and inform your hike on the Forest Lodge Nature Trail.
