Mountain Biking in Harbor Springs & Petoskey
Northern Michigan has endless trail systems that mountain bikers will love to explore and we here at Trout Creek are right in the heart of it! Whether you want to travel up to Cross Village and bike from there or just cross the street to use the newly designed mountain biking courses at Boyne Highlands, you will find the trails you have been looking for here in Northern Michigan!
We are surrounded by state parks with Petoskey State Park only 5.5 miles from our front door and Wilderness State Park, which is a 4492 acre plot of land located only 11 miles west of Mackinaw City. Both are ideal for an afternoon bike ride. Petoskey State Park is geared for a family bike ride where as Wilderness State Park has a number of backwoods trails that are well suited for more adventurous mountain biking.
The Little Traverse Wheelway is another popular family biking destination. This is a wonderful 23 mile stretch running between Harbor Springs and Charlevoix. It is mostly paved and has had extensive work in the last 10 years to make it one of the finest and safest family bike paths in Northern Michigan. This trail will take you along the shore of Lake Michigan where you will find small parks and rest stops every so often to break up the trip.
