Small trailhead on M‑72 serving mixed hardwood forest and rolling northern Michigan terrain. Photograph mossy logs, stream crossings, boardwalks and seasonal color — best in fall foliage or after rain when water and saturated colors pop. Dawn and golden hour deliver soft side-light through trees; winter offers stark snow lines and long shadows. Parking is roadside and limited; no fee. Trails are generally easy but check footing and bring bug repellent in summer.
