    How "fast" is trail 14 - Big Bay to L'Anse?

    Howdy all, My group is considering a ride from (near) Sagola up to Big Bay and then to Baraga for an overnight at the casino. It appears to be about 165 miles, considering a section of closed trail near BB requiring a reroute. I've done the route to BB in 3 hours a few years ago, but this...

    Trail 14 headed SE out of Big Bay towards Marquette - still closed?

    For the last season or two I think, Trail 14 immediately leaving Big Bay headed SE resulted in a dead end. Instead, you had to go SW to join 5 and 310 to get to 14 to Marquette. Is this the case again this year? The map I'm looking at is from 2012. Thanks! PS - perhaps interestingly, the...
