ソーヤー郡のおすすめツーリングルート

This property is the heart of a glorious, forested bike ride — a long, welcome stretch of greenery along a not-too-busy road.

Smith Lake, a 326-acre lake, is highly popular for fishing and boating, offering a pleasant break point along your ride.

The trailhead has plenty of parking, and is marked by two tall signboards with maps and information. The trail starts up a short hill to the left of the buildings. There is another trail across from the volunteer fire department building.

The trailhead has a $5 daily use fee. The trails from here are numerous and interweaving, so it is best to bring a GPD if you plan to follow a specific route. The trails are beautiful winding singletrack that pass by a number of wooded lakes. The trails are used by mountain bikers as well as hikers so keep both ears open.

The North Country Trail crosses Porcupine Lake Road at this location. There are four other crossings around the northern end of Lake Owens, so if you don't find parking here you can try driving up the road.

The Cable Yurt is available from Airbnb and it is a gorgeous location in the woods right on the single track network. For supper, head in to Cable and grab wood fired pizza at the Rivers Eatery.
