Ogemaw Hills Pathway

Ogemaw Hills Pathway is a short, flat cross-country ski route in Michigan, about 4 miles from the town of Campbells Corners. The trail is an out-and-back that covers roughly half a mile, with a total climb of about 12 feet and a steepest grade of about 3% near the middle of the route. It is rated easy, and the elevation change is so slight that it works well as a quick outing or a warm-up before heading farther into the area. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 27°F with about 11 snow days, while March brings highs near 41°F and fewer snow days. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the path run a little cooler. For a change of pace, the Rifle River, a fishing spot, lies about 8 miles away.
