Approximately .75 miles of flat trail takes you to the first single-track hill climb, which will get you get you warmed up in a hurry.

How to get there:
Located at Hanson Hills Ski and Recreation Area, less than 5 minutes from Grayling (off M-72 West).

Alot more than .75 miles of trail!!!!! About 15 miles and always expanding. Not too technical, but some spots are a lil tricky. Flows pretty well and the crew there seems to take care of any problems that arise. Needs better trail maps, though I doubt anyone will get lost!

this trail is a lot of work. I took the shortest route and the climbs were long and the downhills short until the last hill which you can go down a really steep approx. 200ft hill with deep sand or you can take a steep singletrack down which was fun but short for all the climbing I did. I'm used to pontiac lake which is a lot more technical.

This is my new favorite trail in Michigan. As described, it can get and keep your attention without wearing you down. So much fun!
