Trail Overview
FS 7451 is a quick but unique bidirectional trail within the Manistee National Forest. Located between FS 9987 and FS 5348 North, this trail is easily accessible. Starting out, the trail surface consists mostly of a dirt and leaf combination. This trail quickly transitions into a thick section of trees with lush vegetation above and edging the trail. As you continue down the trail, you'll twist and turn and have many opportunities to see different parts of nature. Be sure to take it all in, and TREAD LIGHTLY so future generations can enjoy these public spaces. Also keep your eyes open for wildlife! This trail will surely keep you entertained. Like most of Michigan off-road trails, conditions are dependent on the weather. Recent rainfall can cause unfavorable conditions on the trail, including downed trees, mud holes, and washouts. Towards the end of the trail, we did have to stop and chainsaw a ton of trees that were over this trail, so keep that in mind when it comes to how long it took to complete this trail. As always, again, PLEASE TREAD LIGHTLY and be respectful of our public lands so future generations can have access to these trails!
