Water is Life Hike at Kehl Lake Natural Area

What IS water? Why is it critical for life? How has water impacted Leelanau’s current landscape?  What are the special characteristics that make water unlike any other liquid? What special plants and animals at Kehl Lake use it…and how?  What could we discover in a freshly-scooped container of Kehl Lake’s water from the shoreline tracks?  How does the Kehl Lake watershed impact the water and multiple wildlife communities in and around the area streams, rivers, inland lakes, and Lake Michigan? What are some of the serious threats to water everywhere? Bring your curiosity and join docents Ann McInnis, Bert Thomas, Dave Amos, and docent-in-training Gloria Garrett as we explore the awesome Kehl Lake Natural Area for potential answers to these questions.
