History

"Burma Road" (or Burma Grade) is a gravel trail in the Hiawatha National Forest, often known as the "A Route" on Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) maps, popular for ORV riding and snowmobiling. The nickname "Burma Road" was commonly used throughout the United States during and after World War II for difficult, steep, and treacherous roads, referencing the famous military supply route 717-mile road linking Burma and China.
