Decision Memo Completed

M-20 Snowmobile Trail Reroutes

Huron-Manistee National Forests Newaygo, Michigan Baldwin/White Cloud Ranger District

Construct trail to connect to a new staging area on land owned by the Newaygo Snowmobile Club and to bypass the M-20 trailhead. The new staging area is needed because the M-20 ORV trailhead has been paved and can no longer be used by snowmobiles.

Location

M-20 west 4 miles from White Cloud to M-20 Motorsport Trailhead (north side) and 1.75 miles west to new staging area and trail route north.
