Summary:
Went walking there yesterday in cold packed snow. Saw one set of biking tracks. I'll bring my skis or bike next time. I think this terrain is very promising (except for a bit of sand). There are some cool sections that need work on clearing and there are no toys/stunts as far as I have discovered, but the main existing trails are okay and it's much closer to East Lansing than Burchfield. It would be cool to build in a few more twisty loops.

Recommended Route:
Take Woodbury Rd north off I69 to the first parking area on left (about 1/2 mile up just before the crest of the hill. There are several parking areas all around this spot; Woodbury (east side) is paved; Peacock is not (west side).

For the ride, stay off the central trunk as much as possible.

Summary:
Basically this is a great practice trail, it has a little bit of almost everything. It has fast sweeping turns, tight turny sections, soft sand (If you do the Iceman, you need to practice this.), log piles, rocky hills, roots, mud and small drops. And everything can be ridden both directions, so keep your eyes open.

Basically, I believe you ride and enjoy a trail for what it is, but the beauty of this trail is it's versatility. Ride smooth and fast like Island Lakes (or the vasa single track), rough with roots and rocks and hills (although smaller) like Poto or practice log piles for when you ride Burchfield or Custer (the log piles are smaller but more difficult at rose lake).

Recommended Route:
That's the beauty of it, make it up as you go. What's your goal for that day!!! Learning the trail. Think of it as a rectangle cut down the middle by the east/west main trail (the part everyone says is boring, ride it so you'll recognize when you cross it). Then there's a complete outer circle from which all trails (but 2) will bring you back to the main trail. Of the 2 trails that don't bring you back, the one on the south side is just a circle itself and brings you back to where you were, the other (on the north) is a long trail out to another circle and you head back in. If you miss the circle you come out on the road about 1/3 mi from where you parked. Just start over.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Potowatomi, Island Lakes, Ft. Custer, Burchfield
