State Land Two-Track is a short, easy out-and-back hike in Tuscola State Game Area in southern Michigan, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. The route is about 1.9 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 11 feet, so it's a gentle walk that stays nearly flat from start to finish. The trail's high point is 753 feet, and the low point is 735 feet, with the steepest stretch coming at about 0.56 miles in, where the grade reaches 4 percent. That makes it a comfortable choice for a quick outing rather than a climb. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Caro show May highs around 68°F and September highs around 73°F, with July the warmest month at about 82°F. The closest town is Caro, about 3 miles away. Within Tuscola State Game Area, the surrounding land offers more to explore, and the Caro wastewater treatment plant weather station sits about 3 miles off.
