NFS 7515

Trail Overview

NFS 7515 is a beautiful bidirectional off-road trail located within the Manistee National Forest. The trail starts out from a gravel county road next to some farmland. It begins with the entrance as a narrow landscape of trees with several early mud holes. Some have bypasses, but not all. Use caution when attempting to make it through! Come prepared! As you continue down the trail, the wooded sections open up as a tunnel of towering trees overhead heading west to east. About 3/4 of the way through the trail, you'll reach a very washed-out off-camber section. It's not difficult, but a high-clearance 4x4 is required to make it through this section. Use good judgment here and you'll make it through with no problems. Like most Michigan trails, conditions are dependent on the weather. Recent rainfall can cause unfavorable conditions on the trail including downed trees, mud holes, and washouts. Most of this trail is only wide enough for 1 vehicle with limited places to pass. Be sure to enjoy the wonderful landscape this trail offers. This is a phenomenal trail!
