Trail Overview
NFS 6695 is a unique and scenic 1-mile trail within the Manistee National Forest. Located just off Centerline Road, this trail is easily accessible. This trail is mostly just dirt with some ruts here and there. It transitions into some trees with a section of lush vegetation edging the trail from time to time as well. There was one substantial mud hole that we came across that you would want to double-check the depth on before entering. After a significant rainfall, I'm sure it could become quite treacherous. The North Country Trail/Iron Belle Trail is along this route as well. Be on the lookout for hikers and bikers, as this is a trail specifically for them. This is a pretty straightforward trail, but there are so many different sights to take in, so don't blink! Be sure to take it all in, and TREAD LIGHTLY so future generations can enjoy these public spaces. Also, keep your eyes open for wildlife! This trail will surely keep you entertained. 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! Most of this trail is wide enough for 2, but there are sometimes limited spaces to pass. This is not a difficult trail at all, but it contains a lot of beauty and excitement. Regardless of the conditions of this trail, it's an awesome route to check out! As always, PLEASE TREAD LIGHTLY and be respectful of our public lands so future generations can have access to these trails!
