This scenic route winds through Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on a converted rail trail connecting Saint Ignace to Trout Lake. The 21.5-mile crushed gravel path offers a peaceful escape into the north woods, with stretches of forest, streams, and marshland. It’s ideal for walkers, cyclists, horseback riders, and snowmobilers, depending on the season. The trail is flat and well-marked, making it a good choice for beginners or anyone seeking a long, quiet trek.

Access is available near the Saint Ignace trailhead just west of I-75. Parking is available at both ends of the trail, and connections to additional forest roads and recreation areas are possible through the Hiawatha National Forest.

Please note: Cell service is limited in some areas. Be prepared with water, insect repellent, and trail essentials. Wildlife such as deer, eagles, and foxes are commonly spotted.
