Udell Rollways Day Use Area

The only Disc Golf course on the Huron-Manistee National Forests, this 18-hole course is designed to professional standards. There is a stairway that leads down to the river for those wishing to fish. The area is named for the Udell Slide, which was used in the 1900's to slide logs into the Manistee River for floating to mills in Manistee.
