The Fox River Pathway is a 27.5 mile, point-to-point trail near the Fox River in the Upper Peninsula. Author Ernest Hemingway based his "Big Two Hearted River" on his exploration along this river, which provides excellent trout fishing, as Hemingway describes in his writing. The river was designated a “Wild and Scenic” river in 1988 and hiking this pathway will show you many scenic, natural and historic aspects of the Fox River area. The trail begins five miles north of Seney on County Road 450, near Senery Township Park. The trail leads to Kingston Lake State Forest Campground, just four miles from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The trail is typically a more rigorous hike, so hikers should be prepared for a lot of changing terrain and a relatively difficult journey.
Backpacking (dispersed camping) is allowed along the pathway, as long as you are one mile away from Fox River State Forest Campground and Kingston Lake State Forest Campground. Learn more about backpacking and dispersed camping. View a map of state forests and campgrounds.
