Embark on a year-round adventure on the 5.9-mile Pine Bowl Pathway, located just minutes from Sault Ste. Marie in Chippewa County. The multiuse pathway is great for year-round adventure, including cross-country skiing. Choose between a 2- or 5.7-mile loop and take in the wonders of the Lake Superior State Forest and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Upper Peninsula. Although cross-country skiing is a popular activity on the trail, it's not groomed.
