FS 8395

FS 8395 is a fun 1-mile bidirectional trail within the Manistee National Forest. Located just north of East Hasenbank Road and south of East Koenig Road, this trail is easily accessible. Starting from the southern end, you'll start on a dirt road in a section of the forest with lush vegetation edging the trail. Shortly into the route, you'll encounter a water/mud obstacle that could get a bit tricky after some recent rainfall. The remainder of the trail is a standard Michigan trail that would be rated as a 2 only because it's typically wide enough for 1 vehicle with limited places to pass. Otherwise, the trail would be rated as a 1. As you continue down the trail, you'll twist and turn as you change in elevation. There are also a few marshy-type sections along this trail that are interesting to take a look at if you have the time. Be sure to take it all in, and TREAD LIGHTLY so future generations can enjoy these public spaces. 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! This is a fun and unique trail in Michigan that contains a lot of beauty and entertainment. This trail also gives access to other great trails nearby. The southern end of the trail finishes at East Hasenbank Road. Regardless of the conditions or rating 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!
