Posted on by travelovermiway

Though winter is hanging on in Michigan for the next couple months, there’s still plenty of hikes you can do in this cold weather! One of my favorite spots to hike in is the Huron National Forest, located on the North East side of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan this National Forest it covers over 400,000 acres of land. The infamous Au Sable river runs through the Huron National Forest, leading to endless fun and activities to have in this area.
