The Iron Belle Trail is a 2,000-mile journey winding from Ironwood in the western Upper Peninsula to Belle Isle in Detroit. It crisscrosses more than half of Michigan's counties along two distinct hiking and biking routes.

  • The biking route utilizes many of the state's existing bike paths, bike lanes and designated biking routes as it travels up the east side of the state.
  • The hiking route utilizes sidewalks, trails and the 1,000-mile plus North Country National Scenic Trail traveling up the west side of the Lower Peninsula.

When completed, the trail will be the longest state-designated trail in the nation.
