Description: Spring lake has 3 different trails (deer, fox and rat). The Fox starts on the south side of the dam just off the parking lot. Its a short fun loop back out almost were you started. Then you can cross the dam and start the deer/fox trail. From there you can follow the signs. To go on rat take the deer and a ways back you can go left onto it. Rat is a very tough 3.5 mile loop back out to deer. The trails here are tight in some spots and they do have some ladder bridges, log piles and even a teeter-totter. Its is really challenging and the hills just keep coming. I highly recommend these trails. They are a hidden secret of Macomb. Have fun

Spring Lake is full of drops and burning climbs. It is almost always well groomed. At spring lake you can take the kids or go alone and really tear it up. There are several different trails and I hear there are even more coming. It is a black diamond in the rough.
