Northern: Other trails

[ROAD5]

The app is MTB project. Clearly it does not have all the trails on it though.

No Lake Ann is in a different area than Lost Lake. Lost lake is about 6 miles long.

Where is Lake Ann?

Rode Palmer Woods for the first time, there happened to be a skills clinic going on at the time, but was able to do three laps with no issues. Trail is in great shape. Even though only around 3 miles are completed, it’s got around 430 feet of elevation. Racked up over 1300 feet of climbing. Not sure how accurate Strava is there, the cell phone doesn’t work well there, so it’s good to let someone else know where you are riding at. I also had issues with satellite radio. I was getting around 2.5 miles, but the trailhead kiosk says it’s more like 3.2. Glad to find something a bit more technical near where I now live. The trail somewhat has the same vibe as DTE, should be fantastic when the remaining miles are finished. I could do half of the sections marked difficult. Noticed on my last lap someone was hitting their brakes on the roller section. Not necessary, wasn’t any damage but it’s disappointing to see skid marks in a section like that.

Did NCT over the weekend, Dilling to Marilla(and back). Rained a lot, but the trail was perfect. Lumberjack bikes were muddy, same time, so this trail loves the rain.

I highly recommend riding it this direction, from the tippy dam end. Gets the harder climbing out of the way on the way out, and Coates to Dilling on the return seems like mostly descending.

Coates to Dilling was in great shape, with no deadfall. Coates to Marilla had a handful of trees down. Overall great shape. We did 35 miles and 4,200 feet of climbing(out and back to hodenpyl dam added on). Just phenomenal riding in non typical Michigan terrain.

I don't know how exact that is, but it's an optional lookout trail at the high point of a climb from pole road toward Marilla.
