Torch Lake Watershed Bucket List 

1. Paddle on Torch Lake.
   Jump in a kayak, a canoe, or on a paddleboard and get some watery exercise.
   Don’t forget your life jacket!
2. Hike the Coy Mountain Trail.
   Hug a beech tree in the forest located a couple of blocks from downtown Alden.
   Take a yummy snick-snack!
3. Hunt for Petoskey Stones.
   Try one of the public beaches or Access Sites.
   You can polish your rock & even name it!
4. Go Fish.
   Think perch, bass, bluegills…no whales allowed.
   Try worms, bread, cheese or any nice fancy bait a grown up gives you!
5. Jump in the Lake.
   Go wading, go swimming…just get in the Lake!
   Best done with friends and family.
6. Pack a Picnic.
   You can eat in your backyard or go to the Depot Park.
   Explore the Historical Museum after lunch.
7. Swing in a hammock.
   Take a nap…read a book…listen to the birds.
   A good place for lemonade and a cookie.
8. Click, click, click.
   Get a camera and take some pictures.
9. Find a Farm Stand.
   Think fruits & veggies. Think homemade jam, pies, and cookies.
   It’s even better if you get to pick your own food!
10. Roast a hotdog…or better yet a marshmallow.
    All you need is a campfire and a stick!
    You’ll need help from a grown up for this one.
11. Play a Rainy Day game.
    If you can’t go outside because it’s raining…
    Find a good game to play…think card games or board games.
    Brownies make good prizes for everyone!
