Firth Lake Segment
Ice Age Trail Atlas Map 16f; Ice Age Trail Companion Guide p. 265
There's a great view of a sandhill crane nest (complete with two clearly visible eggs) from the Ice Age Trail in Chippewa County. Where the Trail turns westward away from Firth Lake, a logging road heads north along the shoreline. If you follow the logging road just a few feet you'll get a great view of the nest sitting on a hummock just out into the lake. More than likely, you'll know it by the noisy crane pacing in the water between the nest and shoreline. (05/16/08)
