Trail Overview

FS 5729 is a scenic two-track through the Manistee National Forest, primarily accessed from West Nurnberg Road or FS 8038/8039. The trail has a dirt base and is generally easy to navigate, with a few small holes that may lightly articulate your suspension but pose no issue for most vehicles. Along the way, you'll enjoy beautiful forest views with occasional glimpses of the Big Sable River and the surrounding marshlands. As you explore these routes, it's important to follow Tread Lightly and Leave No Trace principles to help preserve the forest for future visitors. Stay on designated trails, avoid driving through sensitive or waterlogged areas when possible, and pack out everything you bring in. Respect wildlife, minimize your impact, and leave the area better than you found it so these beautiful landscapes remain wild and accessible for years to come.
