Just around the corner from this trail is Loda Lake Wildflower Sanctuary and Recreation Area. This area is home to the Birch Grove Trail as well as trails in the Loda Lake Recreation Area. The Birch Grove Trail crosses over this track. twice! Like most Michigan trails, conditions are dependent on the weather. Recent rainfall can cause mud/water holes that can get rutted out quickly.
