    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION….

    The Manistee River Trail is a 10.5 mile long trail stretching from Coates Hwy at Red Bridge River Access to O’Rourke Rd at Seaton Creek Campground. There is about 1,000ft of elevation change. This trail can be made into a loop, commonly named the Manistee River Loop, by connecting over to the North Country Trail (NCT). The loop is a total of 19 miles with about 2,000ft of elevation change. There are numerous designated backcountry camping sites along the MRT side. However, backcountry dispersed camping is allowed throughout the MRT and most of the NCT.

    Nice little trip. I’ve done this in almost every season, haven’t done it in snow yet and almost did it twice before I developed a nasty blister that stopped the 2nd loop.

    Nice report. The MRL is a classic mid MI trail. Beautiful with a lot of snow on the ground. Summer and fall are beautiful too, but can be very crowded. Indeed, the campsites on the Manistee trail side are gorgeous.
