Confirmed from Port Huron State Game Area's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (7 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Love hiking here! Over 6000 acres of sheer beauty all year round❤️ Working on finding every entrance to explore the land. So lucky to live in Michigan💕

★★★★★ — Miss , Jan 2022

Natural beauty, rolling hills with beautiful old oak trees. Great place to hike.

Posted hours for the park or trailhead. Gates and parking lots often close earlier than the trail itself, and seasonal hours change — worth a check before a pre-dawn or after-dark run.
