You can continue this loop down towards Newberry and then back towards Paradise. A stop at Tahquamenon Falls will give you a view of the second largest waterfall east of the Mississippi. Don't forget your camera for a great winter picture of the frozen water sculptures at the falls.

For a longer ride, continue on Trail 8 to Grand Marais, the Pictured Rocks, and the Munising area for some great riding. Trail 8 also heads east towards Raco, the Bay Mills/Brimley area, (two casinos and food), and on to the Soo. The network of over 2,500 miles of groomed trails will take you all over the Upper Peninsula. Reserve your sled and get ready for some fun.
