Difficulty

History

This trail is primarily maintained and utilized for forest management by the Michigan DNR, acting as access for forest surveys and timber management in the surrounding state-owned land. The area was heavily influenced by historic logging operations, with several old logging grades and at least one CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) camp located south of the compartment.
