Calumet Mine Road Trail A

Trail Overview

Calumet Mine Road Trail A is located in Dickinson County Michigan, and runs from its intersection with Sportsman Club Road, Trail A and Lyons Lake Road to the town of Felch where it intersects the Felch Grade. This trail, like other forest roads in this area, is wide with excellent sight lines throughout. Corners are long and sweeping, and remain as wide as the rest of the trail. The trail surface is a mix of loose, sandy gravel and hard-packed gravel. The areas of the trail that are loose gravel can be very dusty when it has not rained recently. The scenery along this trail ranges from mature forests mixed in with rolling hills as well as some large meadows throughout. There are also several short sections of lowland swamp.
