100 Miler Connection to Marinette County

tsg · Post by **tsg** » Tue Jan 06, 2015 1:16 pm

There is an intersection where the Marinette County trails connect with the 100 Miler northeast of Wabeno, correct? Basically due east of where LMT 8 branches off the NST going east? Since the NST opened and Christmas Tree closed, I very seldom ever ride the east portion anymore. I know you can connect via ACreek, but just confirming this can be done to the south as well. Confirmation would be appreciated.

Also, this past Holiday weekend was one of the busiest I have ridden in years. The groomers did as well as could be expected due to volume, temps, and snow conditions. And, as Johnnie always mentions, these guys have lives too! Great job as always to the drivers who are underappreciated!

You'd take the LMT 8 --> East @ Intersection-29B on the NST to Intersection-30 on the 100 Mile Snow Safari ---> East/North to Armstrong Creek/Intersection-36 --> East (To Marinette Trails)

yes,there is an intersection that gives you access to marinette county about a mile east of where the old christmas tree inn was. where you would turn north to armstrong you would continue straight on benson lake road

To clarify what everyone else is saying, I made this somewhat sloppy attempt to align the maps of Forest Co. and Marinette Co to answer your question. Yes, this is State Trail #16, and as CRZ correctly mentioned, it follows Benson Lake Rd towards Goodman Park. The 100 miler portion just east of Blackwell is one of my all time favorite sections of trail (and I think Jim featured it in one of his videos a few years back.) I've made this connection into Mar. Co. a few times, and personally prefer it to the trail between AC and Goodman.

Yes. It's State Corridor 16 out of Wabeno (see first map) and it overlaps with the 100 Miler until South of Armstrong Creek (Benson Lake Rd) where the 100 Miler heads North and the State Corridor 16 continues East (see map below).

(I'll admit that I am a total map geek. I have a map case on my tank bag, and always have a map of what I am riding open in front of me.)

Is there signage at that intersection detailing that? I don't remember seeing directional info at that intersection.
