You can expect to find smooth twisty gently rolling trails that are very beginner friendly but still fun for the more advanced rider. All trails can be ridden in either direction.
Starting at the corner of Tinkham and Sherman you will enter the woods on a wide walking path. About 100 yds into the woods there will be a marked intersection with a mountain bike sign and a narrow trail on your left. This is the beginning of the MTB singletrack. Once on the singletrack you will cross several walking trails and will come to the Orange loop on you left. This loop is equally awesome in either direction and is 1.8 miles long. After the Orange loop you will ride a bit further and come to the
Blue loop. This is a short .7 mile loop but still quite fun. Continuing on you will ride through some pines and come to the Bryant Rd. crossing. There is another 1.8 mile loop on the north side of Bryant Rd. that has some long fast corners and a few gradual climbs. You can either complete this loop and end up back at Bryant Rd. or take the short connector trail that goes north to Pleasant Ridge Dr.
From Pleasant Ridge you have easy access to the Memorial Tree Park and Cartier Park trails. The three trail systems form the Ludington Urban Singletrack and comprise over 10 miles of singletrack trails.
Totally fine for what it is: easy, simple trails through the woods. No challenging features except some tight spots through tree pairs and not too many places where you can pick up much speed. I like that the trail is comprised of 4 connected loops so you can decide how far to ride depending on how everybody's feeling. Excellent trail to bring beginners. I went the day after heavy rain and the soil was perfect. Pretty environment and we spotted a few deer (which probably also means there are ticks around, so be careful about that).
| ThankThe trails here were reasonably well maintained, but with a good amount of sand unfortunately to slow you down and keep you on your toes. There is a trail which breaks off into multiple smaller loops, and every one of them has the same feel, with an older, narrow tight turn nature to them. No features with rocks/drops/berms/logs unfortunately. It was good for something new to ride, but a pretty standard average trail overall.
