The Kekekabic Trail runs through the center of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and begins opposite the Snowbank Trailhead on the Ely side.
The middle third passes through the remnants of the 1999 blowdown and the forest is composed of young trees, some large white pines that survived the storm, many broken off snags, and many downfalls.
Here, the trail passes through areas where a majority of the tree canopy was killed by the fires.
Aspen, birch, and Jack Pines are growing back quickly and there are also several open grassy sections near Seahorse Lake.
The Chapter publishes a regularly updated guidebook for the trail that features detailed descriptions and hiking maps.
