Trail Overview
Celotex Spur is a state owned/ locally maintained, Level-2/ Level-3 forest access route with a surface composition of gravel, sand, dirt, and native material (ex: leaves, pine needles, pine cones, sticks, branches). This route traverses through the dense coniferous & hardwood forest of the Great Lakes Timberland within the Huron Mountain Range.
Difficulty
Gravel, dirt, and sand route typically unmaintained after rain or snow that may give rise to water crossings < 12” and obstacles such as tree/ tree branches and potential overflow from the Middle Branch Escanaba River &/or the Second River.
History
Celotex Road is a rural forest and seasonal access road located in the western/northern reaches of Marquette County and neighboring Baraga County (near Herman and Michigamme), taking its name from the historic Celotex Corporation fiberboard plant established in L'Anse, Michigan, during the mid-1950s.
