USE CAUTION - KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!

The recent ice storm on March 29, 2025 and subsequent wind events have left many downed and damaged trees across the Mio Ranger District of the Huron-Manistee National Forests that have interrupted recreation opportunities on motorized and non-motorized trails.

Crews are actively working to clear trees and debris from Forest Service roads and trails.

Visitors should expect down trees and other debris on trails and roads – Please slow down and use caution. Access to areas may be limited on the Forest, and this may impact the ability of first responders to respond to an emergency response, such as ambulance and fire first responders.
