Trail A/Carney Lake Road

Trail Overview

After leaving the town of Iron Mountain headed north, this is the first access point to a trail and other trail systems in the area. Heading west to east, this trail will start out as gravel but quickly transition into a dirt/sandy base. Several low spots along this route will collect water. These water holes are no more than 12 inches in depth. The scenery along the way is excellent with a good mix of foliage as well as excellent views from a valley to an oncoming bluff. Several other trails and routes can be accessed via this trail. Corners can be easily washed out or driven through when enough sand is present. These trails are all multipurpose use for ATV, SxS, and 4x4. A Michigan ORV license and permit will be required to operate ATVs/SxS on any Michigan trail.
