Horseshoe Lake Motorcycle Trail

Saturday, December 23, 2023

Other Names

Huron-manistee National Forest, Baldwin Ranger Station, White Cloud Ranger Station

Last Known StatusOpen

This part of the Huron-Manistee National Forest features 24 miles of single track trails that form several long loops. The trails that head north are open to street legal dual sports while the trails to the south are open to non-street legal motorcycles.

Trails are narrow and twisty with light to moderate elevation changes. The trails are marked and primarily consist of loose dirt with some sandy and hard pack sections. The area is open year-round but the roads and staging area are not maintained during the winter months.

There is no fee charged to park or ride but all motorcycles must display a current Michigan ORV sticker. Amenities include a large flat staging area with a vault toilet. For current conditions contact the Baldwin White Cloud Ranger District.
