From dirtworld.com,

This is the ultimate weekend warrior trail. When you think of mountain biking in Michigan this is as good as it gets. Very tight and technical with lots of fun stuff to keep your attention. Don't miss the Teeter Totter, it's an added bonus. This trail is very compact and fun to ride. If you are advanced you can hit the trail at speed and it will challenge the hardest core of riders. Constant elevation change and some great drop ins and whoops. This trail is tucked away and is never very busy. Loads of fun for the whole family - as long as their good bikers!


Yankee Springs

Located in Middleville, Michigan this recreation area is a close second in many local rider's favorites. This area provides action packed trails for a variety of experience levels.
