The North Country National Scenic Trail is the longest national scenic trail in the country, stretching 4,600 miles from New York to North Dakota. In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, it enters from the south at the Mackinac Bridge and St. Ignace, crosses the Hiawatha National Forest, passes through Tahquamenon Falls State Park, and follows the Lake Superior shoreline in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It continues west through Marquette and into remote and rugged country including the McCormick Wilderness, Ottawa National Forest, and the Porcupine Mountains. Near the Wisconsin border, waterfalls abound along the Presque Isle and Black Rivers, and along its full length the trail offers rugged mountains, historic towpaths, rural landscapes, vast prairies, Great Lakes campsites, trail towns, and broad opportunities for outdoor adventure.
