Morning: July 20, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Location: Kelly Island Fishing Access

COST: $5 MNHC members/$10 non-members. 

Bring your curiosity and your own naturalist knowledge and join MNHC Naturalist Ser Anderson on a naturalist saunter. We will focus on exploring the changing seasons, making observations, following our curiosity, and learning from each other. Whether you are an experienced naturalist or just starting out, this walk is for you! Everyone has something to learn and knowledge to share.

Location Info: Kelly Island is located where the Bitterroot River joins the Clark Fork.  The fishing access site is located along the Clark Fork and includes rocky river channel and a cottonwood stand.  The trail is narrow and mostly flat, but the trail starts with steep and rocky sections that make this location not ideal for strollers, walkers, or wheelchairs.

Directions: The fishing access site on Spurgin Road can be reached by driving west from Reserve Street.  If coming from the north, take 3rd Street west from Reserve St and turn left onto Clements Road where 3rd St ends.  Turn right onto Spurgin Road and continue until you arrive at the fishing access site, which will be on the right.  If coming from the south, take Spurgin Road west from Reserve St.  Spurgin Rd jogs north at Clements Street, so turn right and then immediately turn left again to continue on Spurgin Road to the Kelly Island Fishing Access, on the right near the end of Spurgin Road.

Group size is capped at 10 people.

Registration is required.
