CR-424 Iron River to US-2

Alpha Township Hall
Alpha Township Hall

Wonderful back roads trip with low-key natural scenic beauty and the delightful village of Alpha. Well worth the detour. County Road 424 jigs and jogs through forests, across creeks, past lakes with little in the way of development to spoil the old-timey feel of the trip. Heading west the return to civilization begins with the now-frayed old mining town of Gaastra, then up through Caspian where there are great views of old abandoned iron mining sites.

On the state highway map, CR-424 is the 15-mile-long unmarked grey road going through Caspian and Alpha.
