Minnesing Mountain Bike Trail
Information
The Minnesing Mountain Bike Trail
network consists of four loops. They are all hilly and unsuitable for
small children and unfit adults. The western or return side of each
loop follows the old Minnesing Road where the trail is smoother and
the grades are less steep. Expect extensively muddy sections until the
drier weather of August and September. Cabins are located at the start
of the trail and on the return run of the second loop. The trail passes
through hardwood forest with views of three lakes along the route. Enjoy
the ride! Let your experience and ability determine your destination,
route and travel speed.
