Summary:
Very, Very Muddy. Drove up here from Detroit with a few buddies to see what the trails offered. There was a downpour before we started but headed out anyway. The first few K are very rough, and then by the time the split to the third loop occurred the trail leveled out and the few "man eating" mud pits were basically behind us. If you can get through the first few K... CONTINUE ON!!! since the worst will be behind you. We did this on FS and hardtail rigs with the downhill at the end being a lot more fun on the FS. We topped out at at 22mph on the last downhill which is very fast for the conditions and the baby heads strew about the trail. Overall a fun ride that without the major rainfall it would have been more fun to see what the trail offered instead of going into hub deep puddles no knowing what was at the bottom.

Recommended Route:
third loop is all we did in 1hr 30 min. Garmin says 1073ft. total ascent.

Nothing else we found.

Summary:
This is an awesome mountain bike trail. As the reviewers below mention there are plenty of roots, rocks, and mud.

The trail obstacles are well thought out and are super fun to ride. The mud doesn't really stick to your bike, so it's perfect - have fun without the long cleanup.

I reccomend you do all of the trails EXCEPT the 10 km route. It doesn't really have anything to offer.

Summary:
This is the trail that got me hooked on this sport. I did it a while back when i was still riding my 24 inch wheeled bike. I would love to go back and do it again. Very rough at times, also a lot of hills in some areas. Be prepared for mud as well.

Recommended Route:
I think i did either the second or third largest loop.

None that i know of
