Trail Overview
Snowmobile Trail 679 is a scenic single-lane dirt, gravel, and sandy two-track best suited for offroaders looking for an easy forest drive with occasional technical features. Located within the Grayling Forest Management Unit in Northern Michigan, the route winds through a mix of pine stands and hardwood forest, offering frequent opportunities to spot local wildlife while connecting with the area's extensive trail network. Most of the trail is narrow, although several sections are wide enough for vehicles to safely pass one another.
While generally easy to navigate, drivers should be prepared for stretches of soft sand and scattered water holes that can become more challenging after rain, making proper tire selection and cautious driving important. The changing forest scenery and quiet surroundings make this an enjoyable ride for high-clearance 4x4s, SUVs, and other capable off-road vehicles seeking a relaxed day on the trails. Remain on designated trails, respect seasonal conditions and closures, and follow Tread Lightly principles to help protect the forest and preserve access for future visitors.
