Description: Starts on right hand side and is all pure sweet single track. It is technical and has many manmade stunts(rockgardens, log jumps) with bypass at each. The main feature is "THE CRATER". Which is a popular spot to stop and do some jumping and hucking. Opportunity to get sweet air.

loads of switchbacks! no real technical climbs. Some technical parts if you like but options to go around are there too. Did I mention all the switchbacks. The real fun at this trail is riding it at night!

one of the funest ive been to yet, from 4 foot log piles to 25ft tree rides, all in all very fun

Like post below, trail is great for varying skill levels. No grueling climbs and you can't get cooking downhill but still moderate speed throughout. One thing that is great is a main widetrack splits the trail in half so you can ride whatever section you want over and over. The crater is cool but needs to be kept up better. The log jumps (or bumps more or less) are lame but the elevated log rails are pretty sweet. I know it sounds like I am dissing this trail which Im not - just think since its maintained by MMBA it should be a lil more tech, or at least one really tech loop

Nice trail for all skill levels. Really challenging advanced section if you're looking for some punishment. 9 miles of very well maintained single track...jump in Walled Lake after the ride!

I am seriously regretting my recent purchase of a raleigh comfort bike after discovering the Lakeshore Park trail only a mile from my house. This trail is awesome! Challenging, but in a good way. Keeps me coming back for more. I'm still too chicken to attempt the log jumps, but I'll get there. One warning, if it's rained recently & muggy out, expect to be attacked by a million mosquitoes if you stop for more than 2 seconds. :)

This is the trail that started it all for me. I love this one. Its small but it has everything. Jumps like the massive crater, a couple of fast exciting descends and a few good climbs. On this one you can defiantly let it out. The night ride here is sweet also lots of deer.

This trail ROCKS!! Tons of jumps and technical sections with some great open single track to rip on. This trail has it all, it also has great mapping and the ability to get out if you don't want to do the whole trail. A Must Do...
