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. As with all loop trails, it may be completed in either direction, from any start point on the loop.
