OSCODA COUNTY’S TIMBERLAND QUILT TRAILA map and guide to the quilt trail.

PLEASE USE CAUTION

when you slow or stop

to view the quilt blocks.

***

Timberland Quilt Trail was started in early 2012. Each year we have continued to grow adding several blocks during the summer months.

***

Many of the quilt blocks are located on private

property and are marked as such. These blocks

should be viewed from the adjacent public road.

You are more than welcome to investigate the quilt block

businesses that are open to the public.

We are indebted to the quilt block hosts for

their generosity!
