GRT Trail conditions

Post by norskgenes »

Hello-
My husband and I are planning a 4 day trip along the Greenstone Ridge Trail from Windigo to Rock Harbor. Has anyone got a fairly recent (Aug 2018) report on the current trail conditions? Will we be seeing a lot of mud this time of year? And how are the bugs?
Thanks for your input!

Just got off the island on Sunday, and had hiked the Greenstone from Island Mine to Hatchet Lake junction, and then picked back up at East Chickenbone a few days later. I always consider it to be in great condition, but there were no issues with bugs, and no severe mud patches come to mind (that couldn't be stepped around), but this of course can vary with any amount of rain leading up to and during your hikes. Enjoy it!
