No. 2 West Trail

License Plate Required! No. 2 West Trail is an "out and back" classical Michigan two-track trail. Located just north of the Manistee River, this trail has a lot to offer. The trail starts in a fairly tight section of trees and brush. Once you get through the thick of it, the remainder of the track is more forgiving. Because there is a large amount of overgrowth along the trail, please use caution and come prepared! The surface consists of a combination of sand, dirt, and grass, and weaves through the Cadillac Forest Management Unit. There's a lot of lush plant life along this trail to be seen. Like most of 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. At mile marker 0.2, you'll find a fairly decent-sized dispersed campsite. If you plan on dispersed camping, PLEASE TREAD LIGHTLY, and seek more information at the local DNR Office/Ranger Station before camping here. The trail ends at a small turnaround loop. Although this is a fairly isolated trail without very much traffic, it's surely one everyone can enjoy!
