Description: The Burchfield concept is to have two distinct and separate trail systems, one for bikers and one for everyone else. The older trail system runs about 5 miles and is almost all flat doubletrack and generally dull. The new system is a bit over 8 miles of both a small bit of doubletrack and very tight singletrack that is a mind-numbing maze as is snakes you up and down a number of ridges and routes you over an unbelievable number of obstacles

First of all the address is 881 Grovenburg road, Holt Mi 48842. Recent work has been done to the trail (2009) however many of the wooden bridges show signs of age but all passable. This was my first visit here (11/1/2009) and trail was in good shape. Hats of to MMBA mid state for the improvements and or whoever volunteered his/her time. As for the trail it is relatively easy. The trail is mostly flat with only a few minor climbs that are not at all difficult. My fav section was the Dragonballs run as it winds along the river w/several rock gardens and roller coasters over down trees. Trail marking are everywhere. Be cautious in wet weather and late fall as many of the bridges are off camber and can be quite slippery in these conditions. A fun trail overall.

Love the trail, it's my home-ride as I'm only a couple miles away. It has a great variety of riding... and customizable loops. Beginner's trails, intermediate, and expert riding alike. More technical trails contain ladders, bridges, rock piles, roots, some sand, a few decent climbs and a few nice descents.

Great trail! Lots of roots, hills and jumps. The ground is just right for digging in around those trees. Will try and get some pictures to post. OK watch out for the trees broke 3 ribs
