Trail Overview

MSG Trail is an easy off-road trail for beginners. Located within the Muskegon State Game Area, this trail is easy with nothing technical. Most of the trail consists of sand and dirt as you wind down the two-track. This trail seems to get maintained, but like most 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. Along this trail you'll find a couple of dispersed campsites. If you do partake in using this spot, please Tread Lightly! Dispersed camping here is only legal during specific times of the year. Please find more information at the local DNR Office/Ranger Station prior to dispersed camping here! Regardless of the conditions, this is a great starter trail that will come with great fall foliage. Keep your eyes open for wildlife such as turkeys.

First time out on the trails. Great trail for beginners. Only saw one other driver. Very dry today. Could see some small water holes if it were to rain. No Major obstacles but a bit narrow in some locations.
