Trail Overview
FS 8393 is an exciting bidirectional trail within the Manistee National Forest. Located just north of East Koenig Road and south of East Stark Road, this trail is easily accessible. Starting from the northern end of East Koenig Road, you'll start in a very thick section of the forest with lush vegetation edging all along the trail. This is such a beautiful sight to see. As you continue down the trail, you'll twist and turn as you change scenery back and forth from tight trees and vegetation to more open areas. Be sure to take it all in, and TREAD LIGHTLY so future generations can enjoy these public spaces. The surface transitions from dirt to a thicker sand surface about halfway into the route. Like most of Michigan's 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! Most of this trail is only wide enough for 1 vehicle with limited places to pass. You'll pass through a gorgeous section of towering pine trees on some of this trail. This is not a difficult trail at all, but it still contains a lot of fun and beauty. This trail also gives access to other great trails nearby. The southern end of the trail finishes at East Stark Road. Regardless of the conditions or length of this trail, it's a very fun route to check out! As always, again, PLEASE TREAD LIGHTLY and be respectful of our public lands so future generations can have access to these trails!
