This moderately difficult ride of 29 miles begins at Houghton Beach. Take M-26 to the stoplight at Sharon Avenue. Turn left and continue up the hill to a 4-way stop. Turn right and ride through Hurontown. Turn left onto Paradise Road and enjoy a wild and winding downhill into the Pilgrim River Valley (you do have to climb out the other side). Continue on Paradise Road to Chassell/Painesdale Road where you turn left and down to US-41 in Chassell. Turn left again and follow US-41 back to Houghton. Use the wide shoulders, traffic can be fast and heavy.
