Although it is common to hike and cross country ski on this trail, cyclers are also welcome. And good thing! That’s 14 miles of groomed trail you can explore during the spring, when delicate white wildflowers blanket the forest of sprouting trees that surrounds this doubletrack.
The trail is well marked with pathway posts, arrows and maps, but some visitors have trouble between posts six and eight. However, there are so many other doubletracks to explore that being lost isn’t a problem here! Use the many loops and paths to create a short journey or an all-day adventure! From M28 east, turn on to County Road 403 south to the end of the road to find this trailhead.

This 11-mile trail is perfect for the adventurous sightseer! Bike the scenic route along North Whitefish Point Road from Paradise to Whitefish Point, taking in both the tremendous historic and recreational opportunities offered by Paradise. Be cautious of automobile traffic on this route!
These two loops total over six miles. Located a mile west of Paradise on M-123, hundreds of miles of additional logging roads are available in the immediate region for the curious rider to travel. If you’re a skier or snowshoer, return in the winter for a brushed and well-marked trail.
