History

West Schroder Lane is a remote, heavily wooded, and unimproved dirt road located in Whitefish Township. Historically serving as a logging route during the 20th-century timber boom, it is now a rugged four-season trail providing access to off-grid hunting camps, snowmobiling trails, and the secluded wilderness surrounding Tahquamenon Falls.
