About this event

Join me in exploring one of the best trail systems in northwest Michigan. A bit off the beaten path, but a terrific time of year, and great weather expected...

We'll be riding some of the same trails that are used for the Lumberjack 100 race every year in June. Multiple options/distances provide something for everyone. The referenced RwGPS route illustrates 1 lap of the 3-lap race that manages to snake through most every trail segment...

Note there is a $5 daily access fee, payable via envelope at the trailhead.

Parking is off of Udell Hills Rd. Pit toilets are available, but (I believe) no water. The loops generally return back to the parking lot, so an extra water bottle left in the car would be wise if you think you might go long...

So if you're a bit bored with the VST (like me), I think you'll really enjoy Big M. Hope to see you there!
