quick rolling and great flowing trail. Light climbs rewarded with great nice natural banked turns. Super fun trail to ride. Awesome view of Lake Michigan. We rode the day after Iceman (11/6/11) and all of us had smiles over the flow of the trail. I'll be back

Rode this trail on August 1...excellent trail with fantastic scenery, great transitions, moderate climbs and rewarding downhills. Trail is very well marked. I will definitely ride this trail again as it is one of my favorite in Michigan. I clocked just under 10 miles on the main loop, my only criticism is that I wished it were longer...it left me wanting more! The location of the trail head on the map is accurate.

Nice flowing trail with banked turns for fast descents. Leave your valuables at home or take them with you.. We returned to find our car window smashed. My son noticed some other car glass in the lot, so we were not the first victims. I will go back again when in Michigan, because it is a nice ride. Very well-marked trail.

Rode Dry Hill loop and 2 mile loop. Some moderate, mostly gradual climbing. I logged about 600 feet of gain per 9 mile lap. A lot of shorter, steeper, rolling hills with winding turns. Most can be ridden single speed style. Mash a few strokes in a higher gear, and then back down again. These are the defining feature for me, and they are numerous. Some of the trail is contoured and has a nice rhythm to it. A couple more sustained and winding downhills. Great spot by Lake Michigan with excellent scenery close by. Overall, just some of the best designed single track around. Not particularly technical and mostly featureless. There are a couple of log based features that can be bypassed.

This trail is awesome, we rode this trail on Memorial Day, and the scenery was beautiful, the trail rolls, flows and cuts back constantly, it works you the whole time, and your face will hurt from smiling so much. Excellent time!
