Lake Mary Plains Pathway

Temporary closure

A 1.8-mile segment is temporarily closed due to unsafe bridge and boardwalk conditions. This closure affects the northern loop around Glidden Lake, specifically between pathway intersections 7 and 8. There are no re-routes available. Please be aware that these bridge replacements are significant, and it will realistically be a couple of years before they are funded and completed.

Wind through the towering pines of Crystal Falls State Forest and catch glimpses of Glidden Lake's tranquil waters on this scenic pathway. Along the way, keep an eye out for diverse birdlife and other wildlife. This popular trail provides easy access to the forest and lake for fishing, hunting and more.

Located in Iron County, this pathway can be found within the Glidden Lake State Forest Campground. It's approximately one mile south of Highway M-69 on Lake Mary Road, just 6 miles east of Crystal Falls.

Although cross-country skiing is a popular activity on the trail, it's not groomed.
