Explore the 15-mile Ogemaw Hills Pathway, a scenic loop trail through the Au Sable State Forest near West Branch. Access the trail from two trailheads: one near the intersection of East Clear Lake and North Fairview roads, and the other near Sage Lake and Stoney Ridge roads.

Thank you to the Ogemaw Hills Pathway Council for helping to maintain the trail.

The trail is groomed for cross-country skiing in the winter.
