FS 8687

NFS 8687 is a fun and interesting trail within the Manistee National Forest. Located right off West Pine Lake Road, this trail is easily accessible. This trail surface consists mostly of a dirt/sand combination with some washboard ruts and potholes along the track. This route had quite a few rutted areas along it and one pretty notable water/mud hole obstacle. PLEASE TREAD LIGHTLY and be respectful of our public lands so future generations can have access to these trails! As you continue, the route weaves through a gorgeous section of towering trees. This is a groomed snowmobile trail in the winter, so keep that in mind when planning the time of your adventure. Like most 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. Come Prepared! This trail is wide enough for 2, but sometimes there's limited space to pass, as well as limited visibility on some of the corners. This is not a difficult trail, but it contains a lot of beauty and leads to an amazing outdoor recreation site.
