High Rollway River Loop Trail

Trail Overview

The High Rollway River Loop Trail is one of the best in Michigan due to its scenery. This trail is very easy during dry conditions--so much so that there have been 5th wheel campers off the trail and alongside the river. However, after recent weather and/or rainfall, the mud/water holes can get up to a foot deep, causing trouble for low-clearance vehicles. Most high-clearance 4x4s should have no issue getting through these even after recent rain. This track weaves you down in elevation to the Manistee River. You'll twist and turn as you run alongside its banks where there is so much fun to be had. You can go canoeing from here, kayaking, take a swim, cast a line out and go fishing, dispersed camp, or just enjoy the wonderful views this trail has to offer. There are many dispersed camping sites along this track. If you plan on camping off this trail, please tread lightly and seek more information at the local DNR Office/Ranger Station before camping here. All in all, this is an epic trail that is hard to beat! You won't be disappointed.

Difficulty

The only reason this Technical Rating and Difficulty is listed as a 4 is because of the mud and water holes that can be up to a foot deep. Otherwise, the trail could easily be rated as a 2 because it's typically one vehicle wide with places to pass. The majority of the trail could then be rated as a 1, because it's very easy during dry conditions.
