Novice Riders - This Is The Trail For You

Shearer Road Mountain Bike Trail

This trail is 4.6 miles of wide, winding, single track, mostly flat terrain, with lots of rocks and roots, and a little of that Edwards Creek spice. This trail was cut for some fast riding,and will be getting faster and wider over the summer. A very good trail for the novice riders who want to take it a little slower, and learn some new skills.

Combine the two mountain bike trails via the Fred Meijer Flat River Trailand challenge yourself to a nice 17.5 mile ride.
