Cannonsburg Ski Area

4.2 of 5
its all rideable singletrack , not for the beginner . This traill feels like it goes up hill the whole way , but there are some wicked down hills !
Summary: This trail system was totally revamped in the summer of 2005-2006. Currently there is 5.5 miles of advanced but fun single track. Equally as fun up and down, but climbing always seems longer! Many off camber sections, a lot less sand than the previous course. There is also a skills park with wicked skinnies, drops, teater totters, etc. Best place to ride in Grand Rapids. A short (-2.0 miles) road ride connects you to the Cannonsburg State Game Area. The CSGA has 7 miles of fun flow trail. The Ski area drains well after a storm, the CSGA does not. Management has asked us not to ride up or across the ski slopes due to erosion potential.
The Ski Area is closed for a few weeks in the summer due to a Pops Concert Series and its also closed during ski season, otherwise go for it!
Recommended Route: park at the east (left) end of the lodge. Ride across the bridge and turn east at the base of the slopes. Follow tiny white and black arrows to the trails.

Summary: Not a fun place to run in my mind but great to condition. I love riding just to ride. I ride so much I happen to be a decent rider. So as far as fun its in the middle. The hills are great for a workout but I would love to see downhills to compliment the uphills that just didnt happen. Go up the Ski Slop at least once in order to really get the workout. I plan to ride this trail this weekend and do about 5 loops without stopping. I will take the slope at least 2 times.
Recommended Route: Go up the ski slope too!!!!

Summary: fun course, it is only "open" on race days but its easy to get in the summer, its a ski resort, in the summer its pretty dead around there. lots of climbing, the hill at the start is a leg burner at a race start, mmm lactic acid, riding to the the top of the ski hill is hard(need a quite strong set of legs), just a pretty fun course, id rather ride at yankee, but youve got to do long climbs somewhere. more of an intermediate to expert trail, begginers, try the state game area, youll have more fun
Recommended Route: clock-wise
Other recommended trails in the same area: yankee springs, robinettes, fort custer, cannsonsburg state game, bass river

Summary: This is a pretty fun course, if you don't mind riding in sand. It starts with a decent climb, although everyone can ride it. Then it goes through the woods for about 2-1/2 miles of winding singletrack that is fun and not too difficult. Pretty much anyone from intermediates to experts can ride here. Then you dump out into some little whoops and hit a huge right-hand berm (fun!) before a super-fast open section of singletrack that leads you back to the ski hill. If you want to get in a good workout, I suggest turning left onto the ski hill and riding up to the summit (you'll need some really strong legs) around the top switchback and then between the gap in the fence to your left, then bomb down the hill at 30mph. Good stuff. I'll usually ride 4-5 laps, as the whole loop through the singletrack and up/down the ski hill is about 4 miles.
Recommended Route: There's only one real trail, probably still marked from the races.
