Peter Wolfe Chapter North Country Trail Association

Ottawa National Forest, Bergland Ranger District
The Bergland District covers the portion of the NCT from the east boundary of the Porkies to the Norwich area (trail segments 1 through 8).  The Bergland District is temporarily (let's hope!) closed, so for now I'd contact the Ontonagon District (see below) if you're interested in what's happening on the Bergland District.

Ottawa National Forest, Ontonagon Ranger District
The Ontonagon District covers the portion of the NCT from the Norwich area to the northeast end of Baraga Plains (trail segments 9 through the northwest half of section 19).

Ottawa National Forest, Kenton Ranger District
The Kenton District covers the portion of the NCT across the part of Baraga Plains which east of Sturgeon River Gorge Wilderness (the southeast half of trail segment 19 and all of segment 20).

Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Copper Country State Forest
MDNR's Baraga office has responsibility for state lands on Baraga Plains, where the NCT is projected to go within the next year or two.  Contact

and ask to be put on a mailing list for upcoming compartment reviews.  Mr. Nelson has shown an interest in having the NCT cross state lands on Baraga Plains, but you might want to let him know you feel that way too.
