“A local riding gem! A roller coaster beginner trail with 2 or 3 short rock gardens. ”

Features -none-

This is a good trail to use during hunting season.

Description

This trail rolls fast and is a lot of fun. It crosses the paved Milford Trail multiple times, which is great for beginners not wanting to commit to an extended ride. The flow is excellent for this short (5.5 miles) Milford area gem.

Due to diligent maintenance, the trail has been rerouted to avoid muddy sections and will dry up quickly after the rain. This trail is part of the annual "Milford Challenge" MCMBA fundraiser that combines with Highland, Island Lake, Hickory Glenn, Kensington, and Proud Lake for a total of 100 miles.

Nice short wide log ride with optional bypass- on Milford Trail. Making Lemonade out of lemons after utility crews ripped up this section of track and took down this tree two years ago.

Trail is very twisty with lots of turns and quickly changes between uphill and downhill. During the summer it is difficult in some areas to see beyond some turns. A good trail to work on turning skills! Pay attention to the edges of the trail on turns. Some turns have sandy loose outside edges which washout very easily if you take the outside of the turn too close! Jun 24, 2017
