Trail Overview

Michigan Creek is the Park County side or south side of Georgia Pass in Pike National Forest. It is an alternative to access Breckenridge vs. Boreas Pass, although it is street-legal only as well. There are numerous small dispersed campsites as well as two large camping areas which can accommodate full-size campers. This road is mild and wide and accessible via any vehicle, however, when it changes to Georgia Pass it becomes much rougher. You will also pass to USFS Michigan Creek campground (fee).
