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.

Bill Herman has been building this awesome short little Free Ride/Expert section that is easily bypassed for the beginner.

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.

Awesome first time ride here! There was enough space to session the jump line half way through - I'm pumped to come back and do it without stopping! 5.5mi
