Thanks to the park rangers and people who help maintain the trails. My first time on it. Lots of fun. Not too technical. I suggest studying the trail map before you go the first time. Enjoy! Lots of mosquitos.

This mountain biking trail is well-marked, maintained and the best around here!

Followed directions and found a pullover spot in the middle of nowhere..thats all..expected better markings. Too far to try again.

I dont think I have seen a less maintained trail ever. The ferns covered the entire trail and were over 4 foot tall covering the trail.

Trail has not been cleared in months. Completely overgrown where you cannot even see the trail in many parts. Tree down and it looks like it has been there for a long while.

Review is for the mountain bike trials, not the campgroundFirst impression of this trail is it is what my biking desires have been longing for. First of all, its a more casual location than some of the other locations Ive been to near Grand Rapids. The trail itself is a straighter, more open trail than the squiggly ones near Grand Rapids but enough curves to be a lot of fun. The surface is a little loamy and very sandy in places with plenty of roots and ruts to keep you from gettin lazy. A lot of hills here, which also lead to good, fast downhills. And to top it all off, the air has an up north quality and it smells of rotting leaves and pine, which does more for my soul than a zillion bottles of expensive perfume.Do use caution, there are some segments where the trail doubles with horse trails. I would imagine that kids could ride the trail ok if theyre experienced, though there are a few hills theyll have to walk.The one person I encountered was just a friendly guy. He didnt ignore me because I wasnt wearing a spandex team jersey or riding some fancy new bike, or even try to talk about his expensive bike (even though I know it was VERY expensive). Im sure this one chance encounter is not indicative of all the trail-goers here, but I have to hope it is as I tire of the bike-snobbery and unfriendly people Ive been encountering closer to the city lately.Speaking of bikes, my older 26 full suspension cross-country bike with normal 2 wide tires was just about perfect for this trail. I did let some air out after the first few miles due to all the sand but otherwise the trail doesnt require huge travel suspension or super brakes. Its just a nice trail for a good ride. My newer 27.5+ all-mountain bike was a bit of overkill, but still fun, and really any trail bike with good gearing and brakes is going to be fun to ride here. I suspect both hardtails and gravel bikes with wide enough tires would be a lot of fun to ride here as well.
