2024 Lumberjack Rally at Mitchell State Park

This is a Tin Can Tourists official event and you must be a member of the club to use the group hold and attend the event. Join the club here: TCT Membership – Tin Can Tourists

In 2024, the campground is blocking off 50 sites for us to group closer together. The park loved having us and were really supportive of the event.

Site & Name

• 136 – Terry & Michelle Bone

Rally fee will be $10 to help cover the pavilion costs and the costs of coffee/treats and supplies that we will bring. We will collect the rally fee when you pick up the welcome package!

The rally theme is “Lumberjack” to honor the logging industry and the reason the canal between the two lakes was built to float the logs to the mills that were on Lake Cadillac and the nearby railroad. Lots of red plaid!
