MRT is highly recommended for hikers/backpackers of all levels. More experienced hikers can do the NCT to MRT loop for a great 1-3 night experience. Or just an in and back on the Manistee River Trail, as far as you feel comfortable. Slow down and enjoy the beauty of the Manistee River Trail.

This forest was the perfect place to drive through on our way to Mackinaw City. I was driving through and there was a giant spot of dead trees. I don’t know if a fire happened, but it was truly spectacular!

We paddled 40 miles on the Pine River and spent two nights camping out along the river. It is one of my top favorite rivers in Michigan.

Has been just an absolutely beautiful place to hunt! There's so much public land to explore you just can't go wrong!

The perfect Airbnb getaway located along The Dragon Trail in the Huron-Manistee National Forest: "River Bluff Retreat" on Petoskey Dr., Stanwood, Michigan. The property has boat slips, swimming beach, fire pits (wood provided), and great fishing on the River. Overnight rates are fantastic! Highly recommend.

I live in Huron-Manistee National Forest. IT IS VERY RUSTIC AND CLEAN. Lots of camping sights and lakes to fish. Trails for minnie bikes, go carts, side by sides. Trails can run from Newaygo to White Cloud, Brohman, Baldwin all the way to Traverse City.

Absolutely gorgeous forests and views! Lots of wildlife and beautiful plants. Trees were breathtaking. We honestly did not want to ever leave. Loved that we could ride the Orv trails. Some garbage glass and shotgun casings in rest spots thanks to ignorant people but generally speaking was very clean. So many creeks and wetlands. A true oasis of beauty and life.
