Non-Motorized, orv, and water trail maps
recreational trails in the western u.p.
All too often when we think of transportation – especially commuting – our minds jump to motorized vehicles. There is good reason for this. At least 90 percent of all trips to work in the Upper Peninsula’s western six counties are made by motor vehicle.
Long-distance non-motorized transportation routes that are suitable for mainstream commuting use in the rural areas are limited mainly to several pathways and trails separated from roadways. Purely recreational trails are much more prevalent.
The links below or the drop-down menu bar above will lead you to a set of county maps and lists of trail information in the Western U.P. showing where those trails are along with a list of possible connections to transit for combining transportation modes.
