Recreation

The Huron-Manistee National Forests encompass almost 1 million acres of public land in lower Michigan, and receives approximately 4 million recreation visits per year. Many of these visits are directly attributable to the use of nationally-recognized rivers, trails, a scenic byway, a wilderness area, and many camping opportunities. The Forest Service is caring for and managing these lands for today's and future generations. We encourage you to use and enjoy the many recreation opportunities on the Forests. If you would like additional information about the many recreational opportunities available, please contact one of our offices.
