General Description

Lack of signs may make this route difficult to follow. The road leaves the 8,760-foot junction with Jack's Cabin Cutoff and leads along a side hill, climbing gradually for the first mile. After the first mile the road becomes too narrow for four-wheel drives and barely wide enough for ATVs.

Directions from Almont: Travel five miles northeast on Taylor River Road to Jack's Cabin Cutoff Road. Turn left on to Jacks Cabin Cut-off and trave approximately two miles to the junction with Rarick and Triangle Roads. Turn right on to Rarick Road.
