About This Trail

The State Line Trail is a 107.1-mile (172.4 km) hiking trail in Michigan. Michigan's longest continuous trail as of 2025, it creates a non-highway right-of-way through the western third of the Upper Peninsula. The trail uses a section of the former roadbed of the Chicago and North Western Railway. Proceeding from west to east, the trail departs Wakefield, at a point adjacent to U.S. Route 2. After passing through Gogebic County from west to east, the trail enters Iron County. At the trail's eastern end, the unincorporated community of Stager in Iron County, the trail serves thickly wooded land parcels within the Copper Country State Forest.
