The Jordan Valley 45° Chapter’s segment of the North Country Trail is from Kipp Road, east of Harbor Springs, to Starvation Lake Road, southeast of Mancelona.
Here, the trail winds through the iconic Jordan River Valley; around numerous lakes and ponds; along the Jordan River; into the NCTA Trail Town of Petoskey; and across the 45th Parallel: the halfway point between the Equator and North Pole. The Jordan Valley 45° Chapter volunteers maintain their segment in partnership with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Friends of the Jordan River Watershed, City of Petoskey, and multiple counties, as well as others.
