I read this today in the paper I used to deliver when I was a kid. I thought others on here might be interested:

IRONWOOD - Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder says the state will work to create a 599-mile hiking and biking trail stretching from Belle Isle park in Detroit to Ironwood on the Wisconsin border in the western Upper Peninsula. (read the rest of the story at the link)
Sounds like a great idea, but who knows if it will come to fruition or is just political talk. I wonder if you will have to ride the ferry out to Mackinaw and then back to the other terminal to cross between the LP and UP. I guess then the walking path around Mackinaw Island would be an integral part of the trek.
I imagine it will be across the norther part of the UP, but I wonder will it go in the LP. I think most of the best hiking areas are on the west coast, but that wouldn't jell with starting in Detroit.
