Event Details


A day of hiking, relaxing and creating in the wooded landscape surrounding a beautiful lake that’s fed by mountain streams.
After registering at the Northville Gallery between 9-9:30 am, we will car pool to the Gritsavage property. There is an outhouse for your comfort, picnic table and a canoe and paddle boat for your use. Bill & Lauren Gritsavage, property owners, will guide hikes for those interested. Participants can choose a meandering walk with time to photograph and to collect natural items, or a brisk hike that covers more ground. Or you can do both! The day’s schedule will be flexible to suit your wishes. Wading, swimming and sun bathing or fishing are options.
The Gritsavages will man the grill around noon time, roasting hot dogs, also providing macaroni salad, chips and drinks for your enjoyment, (your additions to lunch welcome) followed by brownies for dessert.
Dianne Knapp, retired Art Teacher, will bring along a selection of art materials to share, and provide guidance and encouragement for creative activities. Many artist find inspiration for their work in nature. Poetry, prose, sketching, photography, dance and more stem from experiences in the beauty of nature.
