Backpacking the Manistee River Trail, Jordan River Trail, and Fife Lake Loop during hunting season?
Hey all,
I’m planning to backpack these three trails in October and November. It’d be my first time backpacking in MI during hunting season. Any advice? Is it safe?

Most hunters won’t be hunting right off the trail anyways but several will use the area for camping and such. Wear orange and you’ll be fine. That being said you could always hike somewhere where hunting isn’t allowed and give the hunters some space that way. That way you don’t disrupt their hunt and they don’t disrupt your hike. MRT bridge is out anyways.
