Trails

Clare County is the beginning of many off-road adventures. The Fur Farm Snowmobile trail and Denton-Leota ORV trails are located here. The Pere Marquette State Rail Trail from just east of Farwell to Baldwin is also open to snowmobiles in season. When Budd Lake is frozen over, you can snowmobile right from the motel to the Fur Farm trailhead.
