ABOUT POWELL TOWNSHIP RECREATION AREA
The Powell Trails are located off of County Road 510 approximately 1 mile west of County Road 550. Located on Powell Township land, the trails are the newest in the NTN network. With three loops to choose from, there’s a little something for everyone. There are currently ~5 miles of trails of flowy fun with some bits of challenge mixed in with more miles planned. The trails offer biking, hiking, and winter snowshoeing and backcountry skiing opportunities.
