Old single track, that is relatively flat making it great for those that want a quick ride or for full families. The trail runs past/through a State Forest Campground through the woods, alongside small lakes. It is hard-packed dirt with many tree roots exposed. There are occasional spots of sand. A couple of larger hills that can be tough depending on ability and direction of travel. Pathway runs through pines and deciduous forest, along side several small lakes and bogs. Trail is well marked but with several crossing dirt paths, it can get confusing - just follow the trails with the blue markers. Large parking area off Gonder Road before the 50 site campground.
Relatively easy ride - great if you want to go fast or if you bring the entire family. Old Single track that is worn but wide. Hard dirt with occassional spot of sand. Tree roots are exposed in several areas. Entire figure-eight loop is just over 6 miles in length but could be adjusted to half that due to its configuration. West of Traverse City near town of Interlochen
