Summary:
The trail system here is vastly enlarged and improved. Trail surface is generally singletrack and fast. The use of the area hills on the loops is very well done as one never seems to have much flat cruising. NCT connector really makes for a huge trail network. I used to live here, rode extensively throughout MI, moved to CO, and still think this is an awesome place to ride. Put this one near the top of your MI ride list.

Recommended Route:
Lumberjack, Camp 24,Big Wheel, Oh Me!, Catamount, Bullwacker, Fire Tower and Barber Chair. Avoid Ryberg Rd.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
North Country Trail - Udell Hills, NCT Dilling Rd to Marilla!

Summary:
This is a great trail system. Anyone that says the trail is flat needs to move away frome the parking lot. The outer loop has some good down hills and some lung busting climbs. There are a couple climbs that should be called "anaerobic gulch" they'll test any of the best riders legs and then get steep. It's also nice to be able to take a twenty mile ride and never double back. Take a thursday ride at 5:30 those guys know the best trails to ride.

Recommended Route:
Outer Loop, and sections of north country

Summary:
It looked like there was a forsest fire recently and their are tons of trees down across the trail and the trail it self isn't very rideable. I went there with the intention of riding the outer loop that I heard about but I seemed to had made a wrong turn because I got on a trail that took me back to lumberjack and the parking lot, it was hard to tell where the trail was and wasn't becuase of the ferns covering it. However it is early in the season and after it gets more use it could be fun.

Recommended Route:
DO NOT TAKE THE FIRST TURN OFF TO THE OUTER LOOP!!!!!!!, take the second.
