The 600+ acre Michigan Tech Recreational Trail System is located just south of the main campus in Houghton, Michigan.
The FERM has been active in a variety of projects related to upgrading and expanding the trail system, improving wildlife
habitat, stream crossing upgrades and timber sale administration. During the summer of 2008 the trails were expanded over

Nordic Ski and Mountain Bike trails. A summary of the activity associated with the expansion is listed below.
