FS 8340

FS 8340 is a fun and entertaining 1.1-mile bidirectional trail within the Manistee National Forest. Located between 6 Mile Road and FS 8561, this trail is easily accessible. Starting from the eastern end, you'll start on a mostly sandy road in a section of the forest with lush vegetation and towering trees edging the trail. Shortly into this route, you'll come across some twists and turns that make this trail more interesting. The remainder of the trail is a standard Michigan trail with beauty as far as the eye can see. Be sure to take it all in, and TREAD LIGHTLY so future generations can enjoy these public spaces. Like most of Michigan trails, conditions are dependent on the weather. Recent rainfall can cause unfavorable conditions on the trail, including downed trees, mud holes, and washouts. Come Prepared! We did come across quite a few water/mud holes while on this route, so be aware. This is a fun and unique trail to Michigan that contains a lot of beauty and entertainment. This trail also gives access to other great trails nearby. The western end of the trail finishes at FS 8561, so if you haven't checked that one out yet, make sure to do so. Regardless of the conditions or rating of this trail, it's a very fun route to check out! As always, PLEASE TREAD LIGHTLY and be respectful of our public lands so future generations can have access to these trails!
