NMMBA: Mid-Michigan Community College

The trail can be accessed from both north and south of the parking lot off S. Clare Ave. It's setup to be ridden in either direction and the main trail, as well as the side loops, all flow great in either direction.

I've never seen any signs indicating it's rideable both ways, always started at the first parking lot off Clare Ave where there's a trailhead and everything seems to point to the trail on the north side of the parking lot as the start. It's never been overly active when I've been there so I don't see why it couldn't be ridden both directions but that's interesting to know.

The new PINK trail at MMCC is now marked and is open for riding. It's approximately 2.1 miles long and begins (and ends) off the blue trail about half way between mile markers 4.0 and 5.0. This increases our total mountain bike trail network to 19.25 miles.

PLEASE RIDE THIS TRAIL! Right now it's rough, but will only improve as more folks ride it in. There are several areas that will be worked on the next few weeks as well.

My first ride here and the trail is in very good condition and has been maintained very well. There are a few sandy spots to watch out for but no problem on + tires.

Anyone have a report ? Riding this weekend, is it as sandy as the other trails this tome of year ?

Got to ride this gem of a trail again this weekend while spending the weekend in Harrison with family! Trail was in excellent shape, with the exception of a downed tree at about 1.5 miles into the Blue Loop. It's definitely going to require a chainsaw.

Trail report: MMC trails are not yet rideable. Many of the trails still have snow and Ice as the frost has not left the ground. Other trails are clear, but have an inch or so of water and mud sitting on frozen dirt.

Hopefully this weekend's warmup will allow the trails to be ready next weekend (April 13/14th).

We're excited to announce MMC's Outdoor Educational Center (OEC) is now officially open.

What does this mean for us riders? The OEC provides dawn-to-dusk, 7 days a week access to heated bathrooms and changing stalls! Follow the sidewalk to the left side of the building for access. Come next spring, picnic tables will be installed around the building for outdoor activity use. An outdoor drinking fountain will also be operational. This will become the official trailhead for our mountain bike trails.

While major construction continues on the main campus area for the next few months, the OEC is currently only accessible via the MMC Mannsiding Road entrance. Follow this entrance for 1/2 mile to the first parking lot on the right.

This is really awesome news!! Thanks for sharing!

The new trailhead connector at Mid Michigan College is complete and ready for use. This replaces the old trailhead that was located in the front parking lot.

This new trailhead is located only about 30 yards from the Outdoor Education Center (OEC) and is right off the parking lot in the back lot.

We ask that you use the OEC parking lot going forward when parking your vehicles when you ride.

Spread the word!
