The Manton area offers year round recreational activities!
Snowmobiling and Cross Country Skiing
It is not an exaggeration to say that you can snowmobile and ski right
outside your back door. Snowmobile trails crisscross Wexford County
meandering through the City of Manton. The City has designated trails
for safe passage. The snowmobile trail just north of Manton is easy
to get to. The trail will get you all the way to the Big Mac Bridge,
it has some of the most scenic views in the state. The local Club or
the Manton Chamber of Commerce will provide trail maps.

There are ATV trails that parallel the snowmobile trails, which use
the same trailheads.
