I happened to grow up within earshot of trains that used to travel this route as part of the Soo Line, and had wanted to return as a retiree to bike what is now a recreational trail. Its primary use is for motorized vehicles, but I happened to ride the segment from St. Ignace to Allenville during a weekday in October and only ran into a couple of dudes trapping beaver. I took this trail north, then returned on the Castle Rock Road, which made for a really nice ride. There is a lot to see if you like a variety of landscapes. I even saw a pair of Trumpeter Swans on Hay Lake.
I used my Trek Fuel EX MTB for this ride, but only because I planned on also riding Valley Spur near Munising on this trip. I could have easily used either my Salsa Fargo (29x2.2") or All-City Mach King (700x38c), but I'd probably not do it with anything less than 38c tires.
Attempted to go from Brimley state park to Sault Ste. Marie on 3" tires but the trail was still not doable. Not a biking trail. This trail is for ATV/snowmobiles. Loose gravel is thrown down and I suppose the ATVs are expected to pack it down. There are many areas of deep loose sand also. The scenery is nothing special. After 5 miles I gave up and hit the road. There was no fun riding since all you do is look down on the trail to pick your way through gravel ruts, rocks, sand, and mud pits.
Trail good for orv's Pot holes and rough gravel.Turned around after a mile out.
Beautiful, we’ll kept trails
I don’t think the UP has any rideable trails This trail is four four wheelers which are very popular
the trail is rough well suited for Mt bikes with front suspension minimum. It is remote and crosses forest service roads. A very scenic ride. Bring plenty of water and snacks as there are none available along the trail.
Anybody riding a mountain bike on the trail be careful it’s open to motorized vehicles motorcycles so be careful not too fun eating all their dust!!!!!
Not sure what the last poster couldn't see. I pulled up the map of the trail and got directions from our location in Brimley (Bay Mills Casino) to closest trail parking.
Unless you purchase maps it does not even allow you to see the maps even when you are online. This app is a waste of time unless you plan on spending money to get even the most basic info about trail.
