Summary:
I really like this trail. If you use skinny tires lean back. I only learned this after about 4 times of falling through the sand. There is a few big sand spots but overall the track is great. It is fun and a workout. I would not recommend this if you have never rode before other than that it great. Lots of good hills (up and down). Remember one thing though. RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT!!! Right at first Road, Left at second road, right at last road. If you go by yourself you better remember that one thing or you will find yourself trail hunting. Total trail for average to good rider should take around 32-40 minutes to ride.
I rate it a 4 because if you take the cool things and the bad things and weigh them together this trail is great but not the best.

Recommended Route:
Only one route.

Yankee, Bass Creek, Ft. Custer

Summary:
I fell in love with this trail during the first mile and it didnt stop pleasing. the terrain is perfect, some tricky sand, some large uphills and a few downhills, even some cool jumps. the scenery is beautiful! lots of wildlife in the area as well. so far this is the best trail i've encountered yet.

Summary:
For starters... This trail isn't in Grand Haven. Also, there is another set of reviews on mtbr for this trail under the name "Canonsberg State Game Area" because that's what this trail is really called. A good trail to ride if you live in GR. Not too far and you don't have to pay. It's super busy on weekdays right after work but most riders are pretty fast so they don't get in your way too much. It's also a great trail to introduce people to mountain biking because it's not too difficult technically and beginners can bail out early.

Recommended Route:
follow the signs

Summary:
Spandex everywhere!!! The parking lot is a wannabe paradise. I unfortunatly went last week during one of the best days this year and so did all the middle aged pertty boys with $2500 bikes. The trail during the week day is best, avoid weekends when your dad goes.

Recommended Route:
Follow the other guys

Reviewed by: Jay Wayman , from Grand Rapids

Summary:
I like this trail alot but it has its drawbacks. Its close to Grand Rapids so it gets tons of traffic. There are sections of sand that can suck you bike in deep. But its not a perfect world so what doesnt kill you makes you stronger.

Recommended Route:
From the parking area ride North to the trail head. Once you come to the first road hang a right, ride up the road for appox. 1/4 mi. the trail re-enters the woods on the left. At the next road take a left and go down the road for appox. 200 yds. the trail re-enters the woods on the right. After you finish this section you come to a small parking lot, ride out to the road and go right. Ride down the road for appox. 1/4 mi. Re-enter the trail on the right and ride until you get to the parking lot, then either park it or do another loop.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Cob-Mo-Sa trail, Robbinette's Orchard, Yankee Springs.
