NCNST through the Middleville
State Game Area - North
Here is a map or aerial image (your
choice!) showing the current track of the North Country
National Scenic Trail between Johnson Road and Parmalee Road in
the Middleville State Game Area, Barry County. (See also our
map of the NCNST
between Crane and Johnson Roads.)
The color code:
-
The
green track shows the NCNST connector roadwalk north from the
Johnson Road trailhead to the Garbow Road crossing.
-
The red
track shows the off-road NCNST section as it follows an old
two-track through the Middleville State Game Area to the north
boundary of of the game area and state land.
-
The
blue track shows the connector trail continuing along old
two-track through private land.
In the map displayed here, the Trail
track is overlaid on a Google Maps road map of the area. You can change
the background to a topo map, a USGS aerial image, or a satellite image by
making your selection from the right-hand drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the map image.
You can tone down the background layer
to better visualize details on the ground by changing the percentage value
in the other drop-down menu right next to the background selector.
Scroll the image to the right (using
the bottom scroll bar) if necessary to activate the
background layer selection menu to the right of the map image.
By using the map tool in the upper
left corner you can also zoom in or out, and you can drag
the image to change the center point. Zooming in, then click 'n dragging
the map in whichever direction you want, makes it easier to make sense of the
marked waypoints, which in places are a bit bunched together otherwise.

Trail note(s):
-
The
northernmost two-track trail segment shown in blue
on this map is on private land, for which public access currently is
not authorized by the landowner — except in winter, according to our
understanding, to members of a snowmobile club which pays for the privilege.
Follow it at your own risk. (If you have questions,
contact
the Webmaster.)
