Trail Overview

Cliff Mine Drive starts out a single-lane trail with a small water crossing. The trail was mostly dirt/mud at the time we tracked the trail. The trail had been logged so it was definitely a typical logging trail you would find in the U.P. The trail was somewhat narrow in some spots. We did this trail in the fall and it was an amazing ride.

Possibly the best trail up here in the U P besides the road to rock harbor on the seven hour plane crash trail, you have boulders and rocks and ledges between a 1-2 ft to conquer and it’s really fun and definitely recommend a few vehicles in case you get stuck in the mud
