Trail Overview

This is an unmaintained county road with trails comprised of almost all sand and dirt--not much gravel to speak of. It requires good off-road tires and high-clearance 4x4s. This trail is very fun on fresh powder with steep hill climbs to test your vehicle on. The access road to Brush Lake is very scenic.

Easy trail. I started from manistee forest road. Camped at Brush lake campground. The trail from there is very narrow, lots of pinstripping. I only went a short distance then got off of it
