Trail Overview
NFS 9849 is one of the most unique off-road trails in Michigan. Located within the Manistee National Forest, this trail is easy with nothing technical. However, it does contain "The Sand Box." From a spur trail off NFS 9849, you can play around in a portion of the sandy area. Please stay on public land! Most of the trail consists of sand and dirt as you wind down the two-track. Like most Michigan trails, conditions are dependent on the weather. Recent rainfall can cause mud/water holes that can get rutted out quickly. Most of this trail is only wide enough for 1 vehicle with limited places to pass. Along this trail, you'll find a large dispersed campsite. If you do partake in using this spot, please Tread Lightly! Please find more information at the local DNR Office/Ranger Station before dispersed camping here. Regardless of the conditions, this is an amazing trail!
