Trail Overview

This is a combination of ORV route and Forest Service roads. The trail can have numerous chatter bumps if it hasn't been groomed recently. There are some great views of the Muskegon River at 3 different locations along the way. These are very popular places for dispersed camping. The trail is very sandy and can be pounded out on busy weekends. Soft sand and chatter bumps are the largest obstacles that will be encountered.

Chatter bumps and soft sand are the major obstacles. There are some small holes but nothing to be afraid of.

Single lane roads with moderate tree cover and bumpy roads. No major obstacles. A good stopping point for lunch along the river.

Lots of riders. This section of trail was mostly washboard and extremely dusty from the dry conditions.
