M-119 Tunnel of Trees Scenic Heritage Route

The M119 Tunnel of Trees Corridor is designated a Scenic Heritage Route because of its natural beauty and because of the community's commitment to its integrity. The Committee seeks to educate the community on how to protect and maintain those characteristics that made it so valuable. Following are resources for landowners, transportation officials, businesses, and the public.

Because of the "Tunnel of Trees" and other scenic attributes and the inherent beauty displayed along the designated highway of M-119, the Tunnel of Trees Scenic Heritage Route Committee continues to work to ensure the residents of Emmet County that this Heritage Route will maintain the pastoral character of this region of the County and will be managed in a manner that protects the "Tunnel of Trees".  M-119 is the only state highway in Emmet County and the only state road in Michigan without a center line.
