The Republic–Champion ORV Route, also known as the Soo Line Railroad Trail, follows a section of historic rail grade through Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula. Designated as ORV Route C by the Michigan DNR, this trail begins as a wide gravel path near Republic and narrows to a forested two-track as it approaches Champion. The trail is open to ORVs up to 72″ wide and is suitable for ATVs, side-by-sides, and dirt bikes.
The route winds through a mix of pine and hardwood forest, crossing several small bridges and passing by ponds, bogs, and creeks. The former railroad bed provides a consistent, gently graded surface, making it an easy ride with minimal elevation change. There are no developed campsites along the trail. This trail is ideal for riders seeking a quiet, scenic route with light terrain and a touch of local history.
