The North Country National Scenic Trail offers outdoor opportunities across every state along its route, and in Michigan's Upper Peninsula it enters from the south at the Mackinac Bridge and St. Ignace, passes through Hiawatha National Forest, Tahquamenon Falls State Park, and the Lake Superior shoreline at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, then continues west through Marquette into remote and rugged stretches including the McCormick Wilderness, Ottawa National Forest, and the Porcupine Mountains, with many waterfalls along the Presque Isle and Black Rivers near the Wisconsin border. The trail can be enjoyed one day, one step, one view, and one sound at a time. Extending 4,600 miles from New York to North Dakota, it is the country's longest national scenic trail, crossing rugged mountains, historic towpaths, rural landscapes, vast prairies, Great Lakes campsites, and local trail towns.
