Trail Reviews

“Favorite trail in MI. Worth the drive. Lots of flowy fast single track. I recommend the 20.3 mile outer loop counter-clockwise.”

— Joshua V.

“Great place to bike or hike. The old growth tree canopy is tall and impressive. The glacial cut hills underneath the tree canopy is amazing.”

— Shane A.
