Title: Big Bay Road (County Rd 550)

State: Michigan

Submitted By: Stinky

Date Submitted: Oct 07

Motorcycle Type: 82 Honda 450c

Motorcycle Road Length: 34 Miles

Motorcycle Road Scenery:

Big Bay Rd/Co Road 550 runs between Marquette and Big Bay. It goes thru the foothills of the Huron Mountains and along Lake Superior in upper peninsula Michigan. LOOK OUT FOR THE DEER. Don't let the albino ones through you for a loop either.

Motorcycle Road Quality:

The road is very twisty-turny and hilly. Do not try to run it too fast because there is rarely a soft spot on the shoulder to land. The road surface is not amazing, but it is plenty safe. Again, look out for deer.

Motorcycle Roadside Amenities:

This road cuts through the wilderness so there is next to nothing along the road... but if you took the trouble to get to Marquette, that shouldn't bother you.

Written directions:

Sometimes its not the road so much as the people you meet at the other end. Say hello to the boys at the Lumberjack Tavern when you get there for me.

Reserve forest on both sides of the road make the Lake in the north completely invisible -- This isn't your finest routes unless you spend time in Marquette...
