Ogemaw Hills Pathway

Ogemaw Hills Pathway is a cross-country skiing route in northern Michigan, about 4.6 miles from the town of Campbells Corners. The trail is short, with a total one-way distance of 0.6 miles and a climb of about 53 feet from the low point at 1,332 feet to the high at 1,357 feet. The most noticeable rise comes early, at about 0.07 miles in, with a grade of about 3 percent. The path works well as an out-and-back. Winter is the season for skiing here, with typical January highs around 27°F and lows near 10°F, along with about 11 snow days, according to averages from a nearby weather station. April is the last month with regular snow, with about two snow days. That station sits roughly 7.3 miles away and is well below the route, so temperatures on the path run cooler. For a change of pace, Rifle River lies about 7.4 miles away and offers river fishing.
