 Start Here Welcome to the North Shore Nature Trail. The landscape of Burton Island has undergone many changes over the past 14,000 years. The island has been covered by glaciers, covered by a huge cold lake and then submerged beneath a small cold sea. It became part of a peninsula utilized by Native Americans, and later was farmed for 100 years by European settlers. It became a state park in 1960. Each stage of the island's history has left features for you to discover and explore. This self-guiding trail will help you visualize and understand the natural and cultural events as you travel to scenic Eagle Bay on Burton Island's North Shore.

You may navigate through the site either by using the "previous | next" text links at the bottom, or by clicking on the trail map to the left. The arrow that appears on the map image gives the approximate direction from which the pictures were taken.
