This byway follows a route once used by voyageurs and loggers through the Chippewa National Forest, over rolling hills, and past bogs and fishing lakes. Much of the 47-mile byway that connects Grand Rapids to Effie was reconstructed in recent years, promising a smooth ride and spectacular scenery—from historic sites and lumberjack-influenced small towns to bald eagles and balsam firs. Find numerous resorts and campgrounds around Marcell and Grand Rapids, and the neighboring lakes.
