Visit the first tribal national park in the United States
If you do not have a chance to visit one of the Apostle Islands, take an easy Beach Trail (1/4 mile) at Frog Bay, the very first Tribal National Park. It took a lot from the Ojibwe people to keep their native forest, sacred land, and magnificent wild beach... And they gave it to anyone willing to come here to see it's beauty just for free. At the end of Beach Trail there will be a nice bench overlooking five of the Apostle Islands.
We hiked the trail through the woods and to the beach. Trail was well maintained. It was a hilly/uneven trail but nothing too strenuous. Mosquitoes were intense all through out.
It was an easy hike after 5 days of biking. I had never milked the Red Cliff Reservation previously, I enjoyed the discovery of wolf prints on the beach , deer and fox were all present on this hike.
This is a gem of a hike. I recommend hiking the full loop starting at the wooden walkway. It meanders through the woods and down into the ravine and connects to a short trail to a beautiful secluded beach. We only saw one other couple during the entire hike; it was very quiet and peaceful.
Miigwitch to the Red Cliff Band for making this park available to the public! There are 3 levels of trails to get to the water, and we meant to take the easy one but ended up taking the harder trail because it was the most obvious one with a nice bridge leading into the forest. :) The easier trail that goes directly to the water is an old road and is a few yards back from where you park and where the signs are. We started our hike pretty late in the evening and it got dark quickly as the forest got denser so we turned around. Also bring bug spray, the mosquitoes were intense!
