Paavola Wetlands Preserve
The Paavola Preserve, established in 1999 and expanded in 2007, is home to frogs and turtles, wild irises and cattails, where the call of red-winged blackbirds can be heard. A 15-acre pond is surrounded by sedges, grasses, rushes, sweet gale and willow. Upland species include leatherwood, birch, pine, spruce and aspen. The central location of this preserve, along with its natural diversity and historic features, makes it a perfect outdoor classroom for both nature and cultural studies and exploration. The Preserve was established through the generosity of the Copper Country Masonic Lodge. No. 135 in Hancock, which donated 40 acres to the Keweenaw Land Trust. The Trust expanded the Preserve to 115 acres in 2006. The original walking trail was developed by a Boy Scout (he earned his Eagle Scout badge as a result of the project) who coordinated the work of volunteers from his troop. The trail system was expanded in 2007, passing through a diversity of wetland and upland habitats, offering views of a large pond central to the preserve and abundant bird life. Remnants of a traditional Finnish family farmstead are found in a meadow clearing that is now a great spot for a picnic lunch. The 2.6 miles of looped trails are an easy hike, but you may get your feet wet. A trail map is available on the website. Please practice a leave no trace ethic and respect adjacent private property.DIRECTIONS: From Hancock take US-41 north of Quincy Hill to No. 9 Road.
