Huron Sunrise Trail Explained

The Huron Sunrise Trail is a 11miles bicycle and hiking trail in Michigan that follows a section of the shoreline of Lake Huron north and west of Rogers City, Michigan. The trail is entirely contained within Presque Isle County, largely follows a section of the former roadbed of the Detroit and Mackinac Railway.[1] [2]

The trail connects a series of recreational areas that were used as quarries for smelter stone and construction aggregate, which are major industries of Presque Isle County. The trail also connects a key harbor, used in former times to ship the aggregate, with the lighthouse that guarded the freight boats on their way to markets in Lake Michigan.[2] Points of interest along the trail, from south to north, include:
