Every year more than 4 million people visit the Huron-Manistee National Forests to enjoy nature and incredible recreational opportunities spread across 976,043 acres. Occupying lower Michigan, the two forests share a name but are separate entities. While the forests are known for fishing, boating, and camping as well as cross-country skiing, there are other activities including mountain biking on the North Country National Scenic Trail, horseback riding on three different trails and prime spots for nature viewing.

Other highlights include interpretive exhibits at the Lumberman’s Monument Visitor Center on the banks of the Au Sable River, the Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness, and the Loda Lake National Wildflower Sanctuary featuring over 238 pretty plant species.
