Swedetown Trails

Here we are!

Look for tall Swedetown Recreation Area sign and driveway at 56641 Osceola Road. This is the main trailhead with parking and Swedetown Chalet. Note: The Recreation Area has 2000 acres with multiple access points, therefore Google maps may lead you astray.

Getting Here on US41 North

Main trailhead – From Hancock, drive north on US 41 toward Calumet. As you enter the outskirts of Calumet, look ahead for the prominent Visit Keweenaw center on the right. When this building is in sight, turn left onto Agent Street. Agent Street becomes Swedetown Road after a slight bend. At the next T-intersection, turn right on Osceola Street and look for the large driveway sign.

Alternate trailhead – The M203 trailhead is at 22500 State Highway M203. Watch for brown trailhead sign right before the intersection of M203 and Cloverland Road. From here you can jump onto Papa Bear Loop (ski trail) or Creek Snowshoe Trail. The Woodland Trailhead is at 24984 Woodland Road about 2 miles from the Chalet. From Osceola Road, turn right and travel 1.1 miles. These are the dog-friendly trails for skiing or snowbiking.
