Hanson Hills Bike Trail
7 reviews
 4.14 of 5

The trail is fairly new, it has some nice singletrack and really great downhills. It is a pretty short loop, not more than 4 miles.

Summary:
I am writting this to update the reviews. It is now a 10 mile loop that is fast flowing and well maintained. Much of it is single track with a few climbs that are not too draining. The last mile has some fun downhill. Very fun, fun ride that everyone should try. Also there is a mogul that splits two trees that should be marked on the downside of a fast hill---if it isn't then god bless!

Recommended Route:
enter the trailhead at the parking lot and always stay left.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
get to Alpena/ossineke area and ride Chippewa Hills

Summary:
Just raced at Hanson this weekend. The trail is very nice - especially the new singletrack. It is now 8.5 miles in length, with most of the two track being replaced by new singletrack.
There are some nice climbs and some FAST downhill sections (short and smooth - don't want to get the DH guys excited).
If you haven't ridden it this year, take another look.

Recommended Route:
Counter-clockwise fron ski hill parking lot.

Summary:
Great trail! long steady uphills followed by some fun downhills. not a very technical ride, but still very fun. great trail for the whole family. Very hard to find though, it is somewhat of a secret trail in the area. to get to the trail once you are at Hanson Hills, get on the main 2-track and start off taking the path furthest to the right, and a sandy 2-track should lead you to the trail. About 6 miles in length because more trail has been added recently. At the top of a large hill, the trail splits in 2, take the left for the 6 mile loop and right trail for the 4 mile loop. Fun ride and a great workout. The trail is marked with small white diamonds on various trees, just follow those and you should be all set. Have fun riding!

Summary:
I rode this trail for the first time a few weeks ago while on vacation at my parents. A4.5 mile loop with a couple of long but smooth and graduated climbs. It also has some sandy, single track and sandy downhills. This is that breakaway type of deceiving sand. You know the type that appears to be solid until you stand out of the saddle and spin out. My daughter and I raced the FUN Promotions race on June 3 and had a ball. A very pretty Michigan trail, unlike some of the Texas trails that are challenging but not as scenic.
This is a great beginner trail with a wide single track and no technical areas at all. Short, Easy but fun! Thanks for all of the Michigan hospitality, and when in Dallas check out "The Breaks at Bar H or Erwin Park!

Recommended Route:
I 75 to Grayling M72 then go ask someone. Because I will get you lost

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Sorry all I can rate is Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston Texas.

Summary:
I rode this trail for the first time a few weeks ago. Its about a 4.5 mile loop with a couple of awesome climbs. It also has some great winding single track and fast downhills. The only down side to hanson hills is the sandy two track you take to get into the woods, but other than that it is a great trail for all types of riders. FUN Promotions race on June 17 and 18
