Frazee, MN to be named Trail Town, hikes offered on Sept. 27 to celebrate

Join the celebration on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2014 as Frazee, Minnesota becomes an official Trail Town on the North Country National Scenic Trail. Joining communities as far-spread and diverse as Canastota, N.Y., Dayton, Ohio, and Solon Springs, Wis., Frazee has earned official status as a gateway to America’s longest National Scenic Trail.

The public is invited to the dedication beginning at 10:30 a.m. at the corner of Lake Street and Main Street by the Hostel Hornet. A hike to the Lion’s Park will follow with coffee and donuts.

A Trail Town is a community through which the North Country Trail passes that supports hikers with services, promotes the Trail to its citizens and embraces the Trail as a resource to be protected and celebrated. Trail Town signs already greet travelers at the entry points to Frazee.

The community has served several long distance hikers on the North Country Trail. In 2013, Minnesota hiker Luke “Strider” Jordan spent a night in Frazee while hiking the full 4,600 mile length of the North Country Trail from North Dakota eastward to Vermont.
