Description
The first part of the trail is flat for nearly a mile but it is fairly senic, after that you start getting on to the skill hills and near an area that looks basically like sand dunes. Some nice views and rolling terrain. This doesn't get too technical but some of the climbs can be very very long. A good test for a beginner but nothing unenjoyable. Some nice winding single track with about 20% dual track as well. Very nice place to ride, doesn't have too many roots, but it does have some nice hills (i mean its on a ski hill).
recomended route...? check out the senic overlook

Review: I love this trail. I have ridden this trail a 100 times or better. My second home trail away from home. Enough climbs to get your heart going. Descents that almost give you a flip top head with the stupid grin on your face. And some technical sections that keep you honest. The outer is a little easier than the main loop. But at least 10 miles or so. The easy loop is new and is a work in progress. only three miles but rough enough to make you work it. The outer and main loop have some very nice flow. root are few with some sand. Hey it's northern Michigan too bad you can't use the stuff for money. Trails are marked. There are some unmarked ones as well. Not care for as much, can offer a different point of view. Give it a try, I am sure you will enjoy the ride.

Review: A great place for a novice to work on skills and for an advance rider to blast.
Review: A fun trail with nice flow. I great place to ride through the woods, and blast! Nice scenery as well. The description here lists this trail as 6 miles. It's more like 12-15.

Review: Fun trail. It has some good flowing hilly sections that are a blast to fly through. Some climbs but not too technical.
Review: Super fast ST with enough up and downhills to have you yelling YAHOO!

Review: The trail flows nicely and is well marked as of 2009 there is a new outer loop which is a bit longer and has some bumps and berms. A few mild climbs but a fun intermediate trail.

Review: This is a great trail (Now a 9 mile Loop) that is just beautiful. It is the best scenery in Michigan. The trail is also very fun with hard climbs and a few technical downhills. Most of the trail is fast with few obstacles or roots on packed sand. It is in a cedar forest with a great canaopy allowing great visibility. It is always dry and sheds water well. The climbs are a challenge but what goes up must go down fast, very fast.
