~1 mile loop
Iron River, MI

Connectors
Two connector routes link the trail systems and open up longer rides for visitors and local riders.
Paved
A paved connector that links the two trail systems for riders who want to roll between trailheads without a vehicle.
Gravel
A gravel route connecting the trail network and providing a longer ride option through the area.
Partners
Trails are built on public and private lands, always with the permission and partnership of the people who own them.
Local businesses and organizations that fund tools, materials, and the work that keeps the trail network growing.
