Description

The Fife Lake Loop is a scenic 21-mile hiking and backpacking trail located within the Pere Marquette State Forest in Northern Lower Peninsula, Michigan. This rolling, relatively flat trail forms a loop by combining the orange-blazed Fife Lake Trail with a portion of the blue-blazed North Country National Scenic Trail, offering beautiful overlooks of the Manistee River and connecting directly to the village of Fife Lake via a short spur. It features overnight options at the Old US 131 and Spring Lake State Forest Campgrounds.

Description

Beautiful coastline trek from the beach parking lot in Main-a-Dieu to the lighthouse at the head of Louisbourg Harbor. Most of the trail follows along the rocky coastline, but sometimes crosses through fields and forests. This trail passes through the communities of Baleine, Little Lorraine, and Big Lorraine.

It is a combination of multiple trails that have actual clear paths, but it is hard to get lost along the coastline. There is only a kilometre stretch between Big Lorraine and Lorraine Head which you need to do some bushwhacking.
