Snowmobile Trail 6 near Wellston
Trail 6 runs east/west through the northern areas of the Manistee National Forest. The trails are typically well groomed, however some spots are not open to grooming and are thus considered “rough trail” be aware of this when you take off so you don't get into trouble when you're riding. The area around Wellston has plenty of amenities on the trails, including food, fuel, and lodging for weary riders. Trail 6 runs all the way to the eastern edge of the national forest area, so you can make this a touring ride if you feel like having a longer trip.

Intersecting with snowmobile trail 6 in many places, trail 3 runes north/south through the length of the Manistee National forest. The area around Wellston still has plenty of amenities for weary riders to take a moment and rest, however Trail 3 doesn't follow the highway as closely as 6, so snowmobilers will have to ride this with a little more forethought and preparation.
