NFS 6658/5501

Trail Overview

National Forest Service Trail 6658/5501 is an overgrown off-road trail within the Manistee National Forest. This trail is easy with nothing technical. Most of the trail consists of sand and dirt. Like most Michigan trails, conditions are dependent on the weather. Recent rainfall can cause mud/water holes that can get rutted out quickly. With this trail mostly being overgrown, weather could cause many downed trees. Come prepared or plan on backing out of this trail to turn around. Most of this trail is only wide enough for 1 vehicle with limited places to pass. At the 0.5 mile point, you'll turn right onto NFS 5501. NFS 6658 continues to the left towards private property. After turning onto NFS 5501, the trail continues for another 0.4 miles and ends with a turnaround loop. You can park here for recreation use or turn around and continue your adventure. Please keep in mind that this trail is typically overgrown and pinstriping is likely to occur to your vehicle. Regardless of the overgrowth or conditions, this is a cool trail that will come with great fall foliage!
