Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Upper Peninsula on the 8.2-mile Paradise Pathway located near Paradise. This trail offers three loops that wind through stunning forests and offer breathtaking views, including the South M-123 loop (1.6 miles), North M-123 loop (3.2 miles) and North Ridge Loop (3.4 miles).

Please note that winter trail conditions may vary due to snow and may require rerouting. Although cross-country skiing is a popular activity on the trail, it's not groomed regularly. It is, however, groomed intermittently by a local club. Please note that parking is shared with the snowmobile club; please park at specified signage for skiing.
