Tahqua Trail Run

The Tahqua Trail Run is a trail runner’s dream. The course is a magnificent point to point single track in the Tahquamenon River Wilderness. Runners are bused to a remote dirt forest road for the start.

The route follows the North Country Trail as it winds through spruce swale, pine ridges, lush bogs, Jack Pine savannah, and past the Camp 10 and Water Tank lakes, where the occasional moose can be spotted. Nine and one half miles in runners reach Lower Tahquamenon Falls. The NCT then transitions into the heavily forested Lower Falls trails. One mile later the course merges with the River Trail which travels along the Tahquamenon River. The River Trail features old growth hemlock and yellow birch. Runners hear the roar of the Upper Falls encouraging a strong finish near the top of the second largest waterfall east of the Mississippi.
