North Central State Trail, National Recreation Trail through Michigan forests, United States.
The North Central State Trail extends 75 miles from Gaylord to Mackinaw City with a limestone-crushed surface through woods, farms, and along trout streams.
The trail follows the Michigan Central Railroad route established in 1881, which transported lumber and passengers between Mackinaw City and southern destinations.
The trail connects several towns including Gaylord, Vanderbilt, Wolverine, Indian River, Topinabee, and Cheboygan, each offering local hospitality and services.
Multiple trailheads provide facilities with restrooms, drinking water, and parking areas, while the crushed limestone surface accommodates various outdoor activities throughout the year.
The path runs parallel to Mullett Lake for eight miles north of Indian River, presenting views of one of Michigan's largest inland water bodies.
