We finished a hearty breakfast and were ready to start our day with some cross country skiing. We had heard that there was a cross country ski trail here that was the envy of the state and I was excited to try it.  It was the Ogemaw Hills Pathway.

Ogemaw Hills Pathway is located in the hills north of West Branch at the comer of Fairview and Clear Lake Roads. The trails wind through approximately 15 miles of the AuSable State Forest providing groomed cross country trails for all skill levels.
