The Coalwood Recreational Trail is located 8 miles south of Munising and the Lake Superior shoreline and travels through secluded and peaceful wooded terrain in the Hiawatha National Forest. The trail is a ballast surface and is mostly used for horseback riding, snowmobiling, and mountain biking. There are multiple access points to the trail but parking can be limited. The trail also connects to the Haywire trail which is popular for hiking and biking, providing mountain bikers with additional riding options.
