About

Story

Located in Roscommon Michigan, the Marguerite Gahagan Nature Preserve resulted from Marguerite's land and monetary endowment in 1997. Ms. Gahagan lived and wrote from her cabin and founded one of Michigan's premier conservation newspapers, The North Woods Call. Today, the preserve educates school-aged children from 4 counties about nature and the natural world. Visitors are welcome to hike the trails, visit Tank Creek via the boardwalks and deck overlooks or participate in our community environmental programs. Our main trail is asphalt for accessibility. See our website for details.

Mission

It is a non-profit organization whose mission is to protect the balanced habitat that supports a wide variety of plant and animal species. Its goal is to encourage awareness of the need to preserve habitat and wildlife.

Accessible set of trails good for relatively quick <1hr but fulfilling walk, maybe on a day the kids need exercise or if you want to get out of the sun. Some nice examples of older trees. Keep good dog on leash, stay on trail, dont remove anything. Just enjoy the cool shad and bird song. Also appears to have a few buildings that might be reserved for community activities.
Great hiking paths, trails, sign posts and a variety of birds and plant life! Oh, prepare for tick prevention. #puremichigan
Wife and I visited for the first time today April 26, '21. Great trails, albeit a bit narrow in spots. They're very well marked. We were the only ones here as it was a bit cold and damp. We look forward to coming back in nicer weather!
This has a nice little paved path with the barcodes to scan to have a learning adventure. Perfect for a homeschool field trip! It had outdoor classrooms and lots to explore. We will definitely be hiking it again next time we are going for the larger path that's unpaved.
Gahagan nature center was an awesome place to take your family and go for a nice walk through the woods. Everything was well maintained and the trails was marked so you don't get lost. I would definitely recommend a nature stop at Gahagan Nature Preserve
It was a wonderful place for quiet meditation, although there are mosquitoes to fight off.
Interesting little series of trails. They are fairly narrow and though I have not been there after heavy rain, it looks like it would be a pretty wet walk. But the environment is interesting, with lots of pine trees, including some pretty big ones, as well as a wooden walkway along a pond. Worth a visit.
Beautiful place to hike!
With all the surrounding rivers and forests this little preserve with it's creek and pond was still good for a quick roam.
Such beautiful, quiet, old-growth woods! There wasn't another soul there when we were and it was a great day. Some of the trails are a little overgrown, but the trails were marked with frequent "you are here" signs.
