The Leelanau Conservancy’s new three-mile mountain bike trail at Palmer Woods Forest Reserve has officially opened. Nearly 150 people attended an opening ride and party on Sunday, Nov. 4 in cold, wet conditions to ride the first public flow-style mountain bike trail in Leelanau County.
The Leelanau Conservancy has announced that work to expand Palmer Wood’s Forest Reserve’s trail system is slated to begin at the end of this summer. A professional trail-building company will be hired to lead the design and construction of the first new loop added to the existing network of hiking and ski trails.
