Steve had told me he was going to take me to a snowshoe area where I could break my own trail and I was excited with the opportunity. Well when Steve said drop me off that is exactly what he meant. He showed us how to get to the Rifle River Recreation Area and said have fun and I will see you tomorrow! This is the jewel of this nature-blessed county – a wilderness located within the AuSable State Forest.

The Rifle River Recreation Area covers 4,329 acres in Ogemaw County, and is the most predominant recreation facility in the watershed. The park offers 159 campsites, has several hiking trails and several lakes in its boundaries.
