Michigan is nationally known as a trout fishing destination with nearly 20,000 miles of cold, quality trout streams and hundreds of trout lakes accessible to anglers. With all these sites to visit, how does an angler decide where to go? Check out Michigan’s Trout Trails which are biologist-verified great trout waters that are often lesser known. This website includes detailed descriptions and photos for each site, as well as information for area lodging, restaurants and guide services to assist with your trip planning needs. In addition, site-specific information such as the trout species available, regulations, stocked or natural reproduction and other noteworthy tidbits are all at your fingertips! More sites are coming!

The first phase of Trout Trails features 129 sites spread out over three areas of Michigan: western Upper Peninsula, north central Lower Peninsula, and southwestern Lower Peninsula. Additional locations will be added over time to eventually provide statewide trails for anglers to pursue.
