Trail Overview
License Plate Required! Hodge West trail is an awesome Michigan two-track trail, located near the Manistee River. The surface consists of a combination of sand, dirt, and grass, and weaves through an abundant section of Aspen and Pine trees within the Traverse City Forest Management Unit. There's a lot of lush plant life along this trail to be seen. Like most of Michigan trails, conditions are dependent on the weather. Recent rainfall can cause mud/water holes that can get rutted out quickly. Most of this trail is only wide enough for 1 vehicle with limited places to pass. Regardless of the conditions, this is a great trail for everyone to enjoy!
