Trail Overview

The Manistee National Forest trail 9476 begins as Pike Road off of M20. The single-track trail winds North through woods. The sandy trail winds through a forest with opportunities for camping and picnics. The 9476 trail becomes West Grant Road as the trail leaves Manistee National Forest. The forest path turns into a dirt road at the intersection of S 96th Ave. The dirt road climbs east through a washed-out portion that is becoming overgrown and more washed out with each rainfall. The seasonal road ends at South 88th Avenue.

Difficulty

The wooded path is easier, but the 4 rating is for the washed-out portion of the trail that has no bypass, except to backtrack.

The majority of the trail was very easy and flat, and just when I thought the washed out part was a myth I saw it, and was a little worried I wouldn’t actually make it. But my truck made it and sustained a large dent in the rocker.
