    The Most CONFUSING Trail I’ve Hiked

    Welcome to the most confusing and marked trail I've ever hiked! Grand Rouge Park sits at the beautiful intersection of the Rouge and Grand Rivers, but the trail system needs work. I struggled to find where the trail began, constantly had to recheck signs and maps, and then lost the trail completely and (quickly) walked back to the park. Location: Grand Rouge Park; Belmont, Michigan Weather: 28° F/ -2.22° C, Sunny Difficulty: 4/5 Length: 1.61 miles / 2.59 kilometers Duration: 34 minutes Explore Plainfield Township, Michigan's Grand Rouge Park: https://www.plainfieldmi.org/information_about/parks_and_recreation/township_parks/grand_rogue_park.php Romans 1:20 - "For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.
