Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park: A Backcountry Guide for Hikers, Backpackers, Campers and Winter Visitors

The Porkies also offer some of the best hiking in the Midwest. Day hikers and backpackers have more than 90 miles of trails to explore plus 19 wilderness cabins and three yurts that can be rented in advance and 63 walk-in campsites. Hikes can range from a stroll to nearby waterfalls to a six-day trek that covers 40 miles.

In the only guidebook devoted to the trail system, Jim DuFresne provides backpackers, hikers, campers, cross country skiers and snowshoers with all the information they need to plan a perfect trip to the Porkies. Trail descriptions include mileage, where to camp at night, difficulty and highlights along the way and correspond to more than 20 detailed maps. Other chapters cover history, the park's fauna and flora, fishing opportunities and visiting the park in winter."
