Great Bear Wilderness hike Skiumah Creek Trail

Off for another hike and this time it's in the Great Bear Wilderness.
The Skiumah Creek trail is 1.9 miles long. It begins at Highway #2 and ends at Skiumah Lake. The trail is open for the following uses: Hiking, Horseback Riding




The Skiumah Trail is very overgrown and brushy in spots. Remember your bear spray. 


The trail was clear in some areas and other areas the brush was higher than your head. Bring your bear spray always. It was worth the bush whacking!
