Description: Big M has lots of rolling hills and some tough sandy climbs. The inner loop can be a bit tricky to navigate because of the many crossing trails, but it is very well marked with maps at most of the intersections. There's lots of options to create you own track through the network of trails on the inner loop. The outer loop is easy to navigate and a lot of fun to just hammer through the rolling hills.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by MINIC on November 2, 2009
Much of this is in the Manisttee Nat Forest and the outer loop is loads of fun. Only one notable climb on the back side pending on the direction you go. Its about 25 miles for a full loop and very well marked. The inner loops are just about the same in tech difficulty but I enjoyed hammering the outer loop. Also the NCT (North Country Trail) cuts through it and can be ridden which I recommend going out and back. Roots and rocks will be more prevalent on this section along with some sandy sections. Nice scenery and a fun ride.
Similar Trail: Vasa Pathway OR Vasa Singletrack (two different trails in Traverse City) Pathway is more geared for X-country skiing, Hanson Hills
