Forest Riders Trail
Schoolcraft Trail
The 100-mile Forest Riders ATV Trail is just that: a tour of four state forests. Trails connect Two Inlets, Smoky Hills, Paul Bunyan and White Earth. All those miles mean you’ll get a little bit of everything, from mild-mannered roads winding through the forest to more difficult terrain that will challenge experienced riders. This trail also connects to the Schoolcraft and Round River trails on the north end. Camping is available in the Paul Bunyan State Forest (near Emmaville) and in Two Inlets State Forest. The Forest Riders ATV Club maintains these trails.
The 29-mile Schoolcraft ATV/OHM trail serves as a connector route with benefits; and those benefits are multiple options that take riders the same direction, but with choices. The trails span between the Forest Riders ATV Trail in Lake George and the northern Paul Bunyan State Forest. This trail has its own charms, traversing forest and township roads through hilly terrain peppered with ponds and bogs. The Northwoods Riders OHV Club maintains this trail.
