Warner Creek Pathway
Warner Creek Pathway
The 3.8-mile Warner Creek Pathway, a one- loop trail, meanders through the rugged terrain of Hardwood Hills in the Mackinaw State Forest. While some sections may present a challenge, the overall difficulty is moderate. The trail's proximity to O'Brien's Pond increases moisture levels, making it primarily a winter activity trail. However, if you're up for adventure, the trail is open year-round for hiking as well. The trail is located 15 miles west of Gaylord.
Although cross-country skiing is popular on the trail, the trail is not groomed.
