north county trail

Trail Description:
all singletrack. very fast, tight, rolling singletrack. fuuuun stuff. depends on the time of year, but i think fall is the best because of the colors. shady mostly and get loamy in the late fall from all the leaves. may even see a blackbear if you are lucky. cannot believe this wasn't posted in here earlier.

How to get there:
check the local bike shops for trail maps.

Some details: Start @ Kipp Rd, of off Hathaway Rd. between Petoskey and Harbor Springs near Conway, MI. Great mostly single track, some tough climbs and tight spots. Not overly technical. Some of the best riding in Northern MI. You can make it as long as you want, just follow the blue blazes, it is a well marked portion of the North Country Trail. Kipp Rd. to Brutus Rd. is about 5 miles. Add another 2 miles if you go to Stutzmanville (watch for wet spots here). Add another 2 miles to Lark's Lake Rd. (following a short p[aved road connector). Lark's to West Robinson Rd is another 5 mi. Don't miss this ride!
