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 SEGMENTS:
Moccasin Lake to Pete’s Lake Campground (.92mi/153km): Beginning at a scenic
point overlooking Moccasin Lake, the trail moves east from Forest Highway 13 to
the campground north of Pete’s Lake.
Pete’s Lake to McKeever Lake (1.80mi/3.0km):
The trail winds between Pete’s Lake and Grassy Lake, generally following a route
parallel to Forest Road 2173.
McKeever Lake to FR 2258 (3.09mi/5.15km):
A small bridge allows crossing of a stream south of McKeever Lake. Rolling hills
on the western part of this segment provide some of the most scenic terrain on
the trail. Dipper Lake and Wedge Lake may be viewed from overlooks along the
way.
Forest Road 2258 to Widewaters Campground (1.64mi/2.71un):
After crossing Forest Highway 13 and the Indian Wilderness Scenic River, the
trail runs Northwest to Fish Lake, where a bridge provides a stream crossing
near the campground.
Widewaters Campground to Moccasin Lake (166 mi/2.77km):
This short segment includes rolling country that travels over an old logging
grade and through a dense stand of mature hemlock called the “Hemlock
Cathedral”. The round-trip ends at the trail access point at Moccasin Lake.
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.
