Trails > Michigan | Upper Peninsula

Many of these trails have been hiked more than one time as I definitely have some favorites among these and enjoy coming back time after time. In these cases, I’ve listed the most recent hike or the longest. Distance shows the total miles hiked on a particular outing, taking into consideration some hikes were point-to-point, thus requiring a return trip and doubling the distance. Many of these trails overlap with the North Country Scenic Trail and I’ve included a column showing NCT trail miles logged. Click on the name of any linked hike for more specific details about that adventure.
