Turners Grade

Trail Overview

This trail travels from the Wisconsin-Michigan border to the outskirts of Iron Mountain. Entering the trail from the Wisconsin side, there will immediately be the remains of an old trestle bridge that has since been revamped and turned into part of the trail route. This spot is a great spot to stop for a scenic picture of the Menominee River. There are spots to pull off and park on either end of the bride. The trail will then run past Pine Mountain Ski Resort and ski jump before starting to make its way into town. The rest of the route is primarily dirt surface with sight lines being okay to good. Elevation changes are excellent and provide great views of the entire surroundings. After Turners Grade Trestle Bridge, there is a small section of road to navigate before you're routed back to the trail. At this trail's end in Iron Mountain, you'll use roadways to navigate to other trails. They are well-signed with directional arrows showing how to easily navigate to the rest of the trail system.
