About This Trail
A rugged 10.5-mile corridor following the Big Carp River from its headwaters to where it empties into Lake Superior. The final 4 miles descend through a dramatic rocky gorge alongside the river. Multiple backcountry campsites and shelters line the route, making it a popular overnight trip in the Porcupine Mountains.
