Seven Hour Plane Crash Trail

Trail Overview

This trail geometry is now updated to avoid the road closure near the Wisconsin/Michigan border. The Seven Hour Plane Crash trail can be run from Crandon, Wisconsin, or from Copper Harbor, Michigan, and travels all the way to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A particularly quiet trail, you can expect ruts, lots of forest roads, some washboard sections, and a potential water crossing. Copper Harbor High Rock Bay camping area is busy but has great views. The trail into the High Rock Bay outside of Copper Harbor is also very rough with deep ruts and potholes that will swallow a minivan.

History

Originally this trail was put together by someone who used to desert race. They called Baja races "all-day plane crashes." This trail is about 300 miles long, which takes about 7 hours nonstop. There was a road closure on the trail near the Michigan/Wisconsin border but the trail geometry has since been updated to avoid that closure.
