Trail Overview

Burnham Road is yet another beautiful drive through a small part of the national lakeshore land. This road cuts between West Macfarlane Road on the east side and South Leelanau Highway on the west. The east side of the trail is more of a two-track while the west side opens up a bit to a gravel road with winding hills through the wooded forest. Being only minutes from the town of Empire and Shauger Hill Road this is a great way to take the road less traveled. Cell service is spotty around the area so offline maps wouldn't be a bad idea.
