Moose River Road Spur.
A 0.7-mile trail that gets you into the woods and back out without burning the morning. The route follows an old road spur off the main Moose River corridor, easy underfoot and quick enough for a leg-stretch between drives or when you want forest time but not an expedition. Nothing dramatic here, but sometimes that's exactly what you need.
