Rock Ridge Camp is located on the rim of the Rock River Canyon in the Hiawatha National Forest, southwest of AuTrain, MI in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Access to Rock Ridge Camp is by snowmobile only in winter, four wheel drive or ATV when it is wet, and 2 wheel drive when the roads are dry. There are about 2 miles of rustic woods trails off 1 mile of unplowed county road. The Rock River runs through the corner of the 80-acre site and is a known trout stream that is only a 1/4 mile hike from the cabin. Au Train Lake is about 3 miles away and Lake Superior is about 5 miles away.

Snowmobile trailers can be parked at N7865 Sunset Rd (off M28) where your hosts Dale & Emily Cummings will greet you and haul your gear & supplies in on a 3' x 6' covered utility sled which can be left for your use. A hitch and light kit can easily be attached to your snowmobile if you wish.

Snowmobilers looking for a retreat can enjoy the many woods trails in this serene location, bordered on three sides by Hiawatha National Forest. The cabin is about 1 mile from trail 417 or 2 miles from trail 8.

This "Rustic but Refined" camp has a bedroom area with a queen bed and a sleeping loft with air beds. There is a futon in the great room. The bathroom has a shower and ample hot water. Bedding and towels are provided, but sleeping bags are suggested in extreme cold weather.
