M-136 is a state trunkline highway in the US state of Michigan that runs from Brockway to Fort Gratiot in the lower part of The Thumb of the Lower Peninsula. The highway serves as a connector between M-19 on the west and M-25 northwest of Port Huron. In between, the highway runs through rural St. Clair County through farm fields and along a creek and river. The trunkline uses roads that were part of the state highway system in 1919. The M-136 designation was assigned in 1931 and extended to its current length in 1961.
M-136 begins at a junction with M-19 just south of Brockway on the north side of Mill Creek. The highway heads eastward through farm fields on Metcalf Road for about two-thirds mile (1.1 km) before bending to the southeast on Beard Road, parallel to the creek. The road then turns eastward on Avoca Road near Tackaberry Airport and heads toward Avoca. The trunkline continues in this direction through farm fields and the community of Avoca before turning southward on Glyshaw Road near the Black River. M-136 turns east, returning to Beard Road, and running through a wooded area to cross the river. From here, it continues through farm fields again on a generally east-southeast track on N and Keewahdin roads as it heads towards Gardendale. The highway then branches southeastward on Pine Grove Avenue to connect with M-25 two miles (3.2 km) from Interstate 94 (I-94) and I-69 and their international border crossing on the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron.
