Hello from Bob Zelinski! Just outside our door here at Sylvania
Outfitters there are over 20 miles of groomed trails through the ice-covered
lakes and woodlands of the Ottawa National Forest. These are great trails... I know because
I groom them!
Take a look below at a very nice article about us in a local
newspaper. Click on the trail map image in the right side column to enlarge it
if you want to print the map.
If you have any questions about winter activities and skiing our trails or the
connecting trails of the Ottawa National Forest and Sylvania Wilderness Area,
just give me a call. I have lived and played in this area all my life and
I'm happy to be your personal outfitter so you can fully enjoy the outdoor
winter experience.
We are located just 1 mile west of Watersmeet,
in the rugged and beautiful area known as Michigan's Upper Peninsula. For nearly
forty years Sylvania Outfitters has been provisioning outdoor
enthusiasts with camping, canoeing, cross-country skiing, and trekking supplies for
excursions into the Sylvania Wilderness
Area and the surrounding Ottawa National Forest. We will customize your trip requirements so
that you can fully enjoy the beauty, solitude, and wonder that awaits
all four seasons within the Sylvania Wilderness Area and the Ottawa
National Forest
Please call
ahead if you have a group needing equipment so we can get you out on the
trails ASAP. Phone:

TRAIL MAP:
The 2012
winter trail map image is on the right. This image is a thumbnail sample
so when you click on it the large file size (1.2mb) image will display
in a new window. You can copy the large image to your computer and
print it at whatever size or resolution you wish. Keep in mind, though, that because we personally maintain excellent
trails and loops for you, the trail system can change from year to year.
The map on this page is current for the winter of 2012.
The Sylvania Wilderness and Recreation Area
retains a wildness and unspoiled beauty that few public environs
possess. Its natural solitude and character remains today because
dedicated people cared enough in the past to insist on protecting it.
If you visit here, you must respect and protect what others have done
before you to make this a very special place for plant, animal, and
human interaction. Those who visit here bring away with them
memories of the Natural World as it might have been long before
Europeans began their explorations of the area. Enjoy!!
