Namekagon Scenic River
The Namekagon River (pronounced NAM-uh-KAH-gun) is a tributary of the St. Croix River. It is 101 miles long and located in northwestern Wisconsin. Its name is derived from the Ojibwe language Namekaagong-ziibi, meaning "River at the place abundant with
Sturgeons".

Pictured Rock National Lakeshore
Sandstone cliffs, beaches, sand dunes, waterfalls, lakes, forest, and shoreline beckon you to visit Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Hiking, camping, sightseeing, and four season outdoor opportunities abound. The Lakeshore hugs the Lake Superior shoreline for more than 40 miles. Lake Superior is the largest, deepest, coldest, and most pristine of all the Great Lakes.
The trip that gave birth to the Pirates, we shuttled from Munising, MI to the eastern end of the trail at Grand Sable. The trip west back to Munising encompassed roughly 43 miles, traversing over sand dunes hundreds of feet tall, miles of flat beach, and rocky bluffs to which Pictured Rocks owes it's namesake.
