Alanson, MI · 2 sites · Tents, RVsPlease come enjoy the nature sanctuary of Wild Woods. While we're less than 20 minutes from Petoskey, Alanson, Indian River, and Wolverine, the vibe out here is pure Upper Peninsula backcountry. This is an established homestead, and I'm continuing to grow and improve it.
Explore my 10 acres of diverse habitats, or venture out onto the miles of trails that begin just a quarter mile down the road at the Wildwood Hills Pathway Trailhead. From there, you can hike, bike, ride, or drive for hours on maintained trails, seasonal roads, and ORV trails. You can even reach Weber Lake, most businesses in Wolverine, and Indian River without traveling on a main road—except to cross one.
The trails are full of berries, mushrooms, and beautiful scenery. Be sure to check the state trail information before heading out. While some trails are designated for hiking, horseback riding, or dirt bikes only, most are open to off-road vehicles if you're feeling adventurous. I've been exploring them in my hybrid AWD Ford Maverick, and it's handled them just fine.
Depending on your camping style, winter camping may also be an option for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing along the same trail system.
I only ask that you respect the land, the animals, and the wildlife. Duck eggs may be available for purchase upon request, and I hope to offer more farm products in the future.
