If you are living or about to live in Michigan and mountain biking is one of your hobbies, this list will surely make you love the state even more, right?
I’ve been to one of these before I think it might have been the Brighton one. They were intense though, definitely not for beginners!
By the looks of each and every trail at this post, they are definitely not for first time MTB trailers.
Novi is fine for beginners, brighton has beginner friendly- only torn shirt is expert.
Wow, looks so beautiful, I would love to be riding through all that gorgeous countryside. Think I better become a more competent cyclist first though!
Looks nice. I’ve never actually rode on a mountain bike trail in MI! (First step, buy a bike … lol)
Now is the perfect time to do so!
My hubby will love this post! I have relatives and friends in Michigan that I often visit but I had no idea of the mountain biking trails they have! Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Cara!
I didn’t know about all of these. We lived on the east coast of Lake Michigan and there were lots of parks with trails around.
I don’t normally go on mountain bike trails but I can see why people who do shouldn’t miss these spots. Everything is just so relaxing, it would definitely be a good activity to do with people you love, it makes for awesome quality time.
Wow these all look wonderful. I’ve never been to Michigan, but it looks just gorgeous. I love mountain biking so this would be something I’d do for sure!
These look like beautiful trails. I would have a tough time as I’m not a mountain biker. Great info for those who are.
Great list! I live in MI and there are some incredible bike trails. I have been on a few of these but not all. I would love to bike in Copper Harbor.
Mountain biking sounds fun adventurous, I’ve never tried it and if I have a chance I would love to.
Such beautiful scenery with a peacefulness that doesn’t happen when you live in a big city. Riding a bike is quite the escape from every day as a result.
Wow, that place was really amazing I love to go to that kind of place. I love the beautiful pictures.
We used to visit the trails in different areas around where we lived when we were in Michigan too. So many great ones!!
It looks so fun and exciting! I wish I can go through mountain bike with my friends. So glad to know that Michigan has a place for mountain bike.
These are all wonderful bike trails. The scenery is tops! It would also make for good exercise the whole family can enjoy.
Michigan has been one of my favorite places to visit, but never had a chance to explore yet. These mountain bike trails are quiet amazing & my husband would love spending so much time all over here.
Wow, this is a great place to visit with your friends. Thanks for sharing
These biking trails look like a lot of fun! So scenic and beautiful!
Beautiful trails. These would be so much fun to visit. Adding to our list of places to visit when we come out that way!
