Bruno's Run

Bruno's Run Hiking Trail

Hiking, Biking, Snowshoe and Cross Country Ski Trail

 

The Bruno’s Run Trail in Michigan's Upper Peninsula offers a 9 mile (14.48 km) loop ideal for hiking and mountain biking in spring, summer and fall and snowshoeing in winter.

 

Although the trail is not groomed in winter for cross-country skiing, it does offer a suitable source for experienced skiers who prefer to break their own way.

Located about 11 miles south of M-28, Bruno’s Run Trail may be reached from the north or the south via Forest Highway 13. The trail may be accessed from both Widewaters and Pete’s Lake campgrounds as well as from Forest Highway 13 at Moccasin Lake and Forest Road 2173 at Grassy Lake. Limited parking is available at each site.

 

The trail winds its way past a host of small lakes etched in this relatively young glacial plain, taking hikers, bicyclists, snowshoes and skiers over gently rolling county. Further along, the trail runs over foothills, along overlooks and through valleys. The many lakes and streams in the area as well as a variety of trees and other plants make it likely that those traveling the trail will spot wildlife or tracks. If you are alert, you are sure to have an enjoyable outing. Permits are not required for camping along the trail or for campfires. Be careful with fire.

Trail Safety

 

Please keep in mind that this is a multi-purpose trail (although horses and motorized vehicles are not allowed). Be prepared to meet hikes, bicyclists, skiers and snowshoers, depending on the season.

Bicyclist and skiers should maintain control of their speed at all times and approach turns in anticipation of someone around the bend. Skiers should be aware that the trail is not groomed in the winter, and some areas maybe icy or uneven, and you may encounter limbs or trees across the trail. Ski to your ability.
