Cedar River Run 5

Trail Overview

This route is a baseline for exploration in the Escanaba Forest Management Unit. It is primarily sand/dirt logging roads without any serious obstacles. Some areas can be slick and muddy after rainfall or during the snowmelt season. The trail can be completed by 2WD vehicles and is plenty wide for full-size trucks or vans. There are numerous off-shoots of varying difficulty and several spots to pull off and camp. The route terminates where only 50-inch ATVs can continue. 4x4s can re-route onto County RD 366 to continue the adventure.

Difficulty

This unmaintained section of dirt/sand road is an easy drive for most vehicles but can become muddy and slick after significant weather. There is washboarding on the route but no obstacles to climb or water to cross.

BRING A SAW AND A FRIEND. Countless fallen trees blocking the trail throughout. Huge mud pit I didn’t feel comfortable trying alone about halfway through. Bridge pictured was damaged by a falling tree and was not passable on 35’s fully locked without sawing the tree in half and moving it. If you are afraid of scratching your vehicle I wouldn’t take this trail. The northernmost portion of the green trail must have changed and now is only passable with something stock jeep size. Made it all the way to the end following full size 4x4 trails just to have to turn around and find another way out at the very end. I will say I did have a good time on this trail but the original description was not what I ended up dealing with.

Great trail for all, we went when just after a light rain fall and had no issues. Mix of sand and mud, with some gravel spots. We made it up to highway 366 where we encountered a narrow bridge and a fallen tree.
