Algonquin Pathway wanders through a mix of hardwood and conifer forests, staying atop a network of small ridges and offers 9 miles of non-motorized recreation opportunities, including biking, hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
All nine miles of trail is groomed for cross-country skiing during the winter months. The two-mile loop, closest to the parking lot, is lighted during the cross-country ski season from dusk until 11 p.m. daily.
Michigan Recreation Passports are required on the car to park at the trail. This helps the DNR maintain the ski trail. (From Secr. of State ($14) or from DNR at the trail head ($19).
