Trail Description:
The trail consists of 3 loops: 2 green loops, and a brown loop. The brown loop is the shortest at 2.8 miles. The green loop is really one big loop split into a 3.6 and a 5.8 mile loop. This trail is intermediate but throws some pretty technical stuff at you also. It goes through the wooded State Game and Recreation following along side railroad tracks, and streams. It is very scenic and well kept. It is a beautiful trail and is highly recommended.

How to get there:
Located between Lansing and Grand Rapids. Take I-96 to exit 64, go north on Jordan Lake Road. The park entrance is about 3 miles.

Additional Notes:
This trail charges a small daily use fee or you can purchase a State Parks sticker for the year.
