Getting to Strut Your Mutt

Strut Your Mutt is located at Jackson Mine Park in Negaunee. If you aren’t familiar with the area, the easiest way to get there is to go south on Teal Lake Ave in Negaunee from US-41/M-28. Teal Lake Ave. is the traffic light in Negaunee by Iron Town Pasties, Krist, and Holiday. Go all the way down Teal Lake Ave until you reach a stop sign. Make a right and you will be on Main St. Follow Main St all the way to the end of the road and you will arrive to the street parking area on Tobin St. We will post signs starting at the intersection of Teal Lake Ave. and Main St. to help you get to the park.

Parking

There are several locations to park around Jackson Mine Park which are highlighted in yellow below. There is also plenty of street parking in the area. The event will be located around the pavilion area. The quickest way to access the parking lot behind the pavilion is to follow Clark St from Teal Lake Ave.

The Walk

Like in years past, the walk is about a mile and a half. The terrain is a little different this year since we are walking in the woods. The map is below and there will be signs along the path to guide you. Negaunee Veterinary Clinic is providing water in the red circled area. If you would like a shorter walk you can go straight down Snow St. once you arrive at the water station to return back early. Otherwise continue down the path for the rest of the walk.
