Grass River Natural Area
This is a very private location that is accessible year round, the area is heavily wooded with bike paths, trails, and "outhouse" bathrooms. You get the occasional hiker, biker, or cross country skier, but otherwise a very quiet place so you can play in your car.

The guide
Where exactly
The area is located between Alden and Bellaire off Alden Hwy. If you go north through Alden the access is to the left just before Comfort Rd. If you are heading south from Bellaire or west from Mancelona the access is on the right just past Comfort Rd. The dirt access is pretty well maintained and snakes back into the woods about a half mile where you will come to a circle drive/parking area where the outhouses are.
When to go
Dates Open: Year round.
Sunset today · Sunrise tomorrow
Etiquette
In summer the hiking trails are the best spot to hookup. In winter the parking lot is great due to low traffic and good visibility for incoming cars.
