Manistee River Trail, September 2016

In September 2016, I took a spur of the moment trip to backpack the Manistee River Trail with my buddy Mark.    It rained a bit on this trip, so I didn’t get many photos.  But, I’ll post the few that I do have below.

We started our hike at the Red Bridge.   The photo below was taken where the trail diverges from the roadway into the forest.

The trail has beautiful views all along the hike.  The scene below is near the beginning of the trail shortly after leaving the Red Bridge.

The trail meanders through the forest along the river.  It is probably my favorite hike so far in the lower peninsula just for sheer natural beauty.

I love all of the river overlooks that are the hallmarks of this particular trail.

The fog hugging this little stream made it eerily beautiful.  

One of the most well known features of the river is the horseshoe bend.  This is one view of the river as we approached the bend. 

Another perspective on river turning in the bend.

A little selfie....This was supposed to have the bend behind me, but I didn’t quite get the shot.  

A slightly better perspective on the horseshoe bend.

A little waterfall along the trail.

This trail had a great feel.  We were there on a weeknight and it was so peaceful. We did see a few other people along the way, but it mostly felt like we had the place to ourselves.

Another view of the river from a different overlook.

We camped at camp site #1. The camp site included a fire ring and a little pathway to the river.   The selfie below was at the river by our campsite.   There was a little sandy shoal here that made it easy to filter water and even take a quick dip.   

There were several camp sites along the trail.  Personally, I think all the camp sites were very cool.  Some had really easy access to water either from the river or from small nearby streams.  Some had amazing views.   All of the campsites were places where I’d enjoy spending a night. 

We didn’t hike the NCT side of the loop on this trip.   As I said earlier, this was possibly the most scenic hiking that I have done in the lower peninsula.  I highly recommend this trip for its natural beauty and scenic views.  I’m hoping to hike this loop again this coming summer and hopefully I’ll get some better photos.

the purity we sense in True nature is actually the creative wonder of God (we see it on beautiful mysterious earth and in the heavens)

and that very same knowing of wonder will someday fill all of earth, just as it now fully exists in Heaven

Tolstoy wrote that ‘to live your life as a romance is the one thing worth doing.’ I’d like to think Tolstoy and I would be good friends. New York ✈️ Rome 🍷❤️#summertime #italy #gelatoplease #europe

Missing the woods terribly. The first time I took Nik backpacking. Nothing, NOTHING, beats morning coffee in the woods. #clicksipboom #backpacking #morningcoffee #coffee #woods #optoutside #bigagnes #hiking #manisteeriver #manisteerivertrail #trail (at Manistee River Trail Seaton Creek Trailhead)
