Trail Overview
Together, Federal Forest Service Road (FS) 4853 and FS 4013 are otherwise known as Big Block. Big Block is a federally owned/ locally maintained, Level-2/ Level-3 forest road with a surface composition of dirt, sand, gravel, and native material. This route is currently open and in fair condition; it is not a DNR road (ORV use is subject to local government regulations). It traverses through the Huron National Forest, connecting the town of McKinley to Old State Road, FS 44852, FS 4851, Mast Road, and M-72.
Difficulty
Dirt, gravel, sand path, typically unmaintained after rain or snow, that may give rise to shallow water crossings and obstacles under 12” on the trail, including small ledges. This route narrows down to a "Two-Track" that is one vehicle in width.
