Four miles of new mountain bike trails opened in late July at Palmer Woods Forest Reserve. And four more miles of trails are expected to open in mid to late October, thereby more than doubling the length of the current trail system, which will offer 14 miles of mountain bike trails in total.
Exciting news for mountain bikers in Northern Michigan: work to expand Palmer Wood’s Forest Reserve’s trail system with single-track mountain bike trails is slated to begin next month. Flowtrack Mountain Bike Trails, LLC, a professional trail-building company from the Upper Peninsula, has been hired to lead the design and construction of the new trails.
