Rep. Triston Cole (R-Mancelona) highlighted a recent article published on the Michigan Department of Natural Resources website that beckons visitors to “Come to the North Country.”

According to the article, The North Country National Scenic Trail is the longest among many trails in the National Trail System. The trail extends more than 4,600 miles, reaching from North Dakota to New York.

The trail covers 1,150 miles in Michigan. It provides a path to many locations, including Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, Tahquamenon Falls State Park and the iconic Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Moreover, the trail connects many small towns and communities and is a way of bringing together residents who enjoy hiking.

The website encourages visitors to “Come to the North Country.”

“Trek the hills and valleys," the Department of Natural Resources website reads. "Stand on the shores of lakes and streams from glaciers 10,000 years before. Clear-flowing water, red/gold of autumn, a fairyland of snow, open prairies and distant horizons paint the land. Historic sites along the way tell how America settled and grew as a nation. From North Dakota to New York (and soon Vermont), adventure is never far away.”
