Pine Valley Pathway

Located in the Pere Marquette State Forest, the Pine Valley Pathway winds for 8.2 miles just north of Baldwin. The trail is composed of three interconnected loops that range in activities and length. The northern loop is 6.1 miles long and is split into two trails, a route that is primarily used by snowmobilers and ORVs and another used by mountain bikers. The southern loop is 5.2 miles and winds through an aspen match stick forest. Hikers primarily navigate toward the middle loop, as it provides a 4.1-mile hike to the lake and back along a forested pathway where you will there is no motorized activity.
