Set up in 1976 to provide a quiet oasis from our motorized world, Hoist Lakes Foot Travel Area is a 10,600-acre slice of the Huron National Forest west of Harrisville where mountain bikes, horses, vehicles and outboard motors are banned.

The tract contains more than 20 miles of trails and a handful of walk-in campsites, making it the ideal destination for a weekend backpack. The Hoist Lakes Loop is a 5.4-mile trek that begins from the eastern trailhead, the Bryon Lake Loop is a 7.6-mile hike from the western trailhead. Both lead to walk-in campsites and backcountry fishing opportunities.
