TART Trails is excited to get to work on building a 2-mile skill-building trail course designed for beginners and youth to learn how to mountain bike. Please join us for a volunteer work bee!
The proposed project plan is to hand and machine build two mountain bike “skill building” singletrack loops on the forty acre
Vasa Pathway. Trail construction will include clearing the trail route/ 6’ wide corridor, constructing a 4’ wide tread, supplementing existing soils with suitable fill materials and constructing berms, roll and jump features.
This project, including the construction and continued maintenance, is a partnership between TART Trails and Northern Michigan Mountain Bike Association. Learn more about the project
here.
