Trail Overview
NFS 5581 is a sandy bidirectional off-road trail located within the Manistee National Forest. Very similar to NFS 5412, BE PREPARED FOR A WASHBOARD, SANDY, AND EXTREMELY BUMPY TRAIL. This track will shake you like no other. From the North you'll start on a gravel track and finish to the South at the intersection of North State Road. This trail weaves over the MCCCT Trail several times. Most of the trail consists of sand, dirt, and gravel. Like most of Michigan trails, conditions are dependent on the weather. Recent rainfall can cause downed trees, washouts, & mud holes. Come prepared, and be ready for a bumpy ride! During the recording of this track, there were a few mud holes and a few washouts due to recent rain. Keep these in mind. One last thing to mention is this trail is a seasonal trail that is used for snowmobiling during the winter months. Regardless of the conditions, this is a neat trail with other cool trails nearby!
