SaveBurchfield has a fully signed 10+ mile mtb loop (it is shared with all trail users so be alert for trail runners, etc.). When mountain biking, follow the orange sign posts (don't turn before you get to the next one as there are some intersections you'll cross over). There are also shared hiking paths that can be ridden for an approx. 6 mile easy loop.
Dirt School Bicycle Playground and Skill Area is located at the main Burchfield Park entrance off Grovenburg Road. This area features a level open area suitable for all ages and the wooded area behind it is the skill area with ride walls, drops and more.
All trails are accessible from 3 trailheads at Burchfield Park, Riverbend Park, and McNamara Landing. The easiest place to find the trail is from the Riverbend lot. Use the parking at Burchfield (main entrance on Grovenburg) if you are interested in a swimming hole, grills, disc golf or canoeing to round out the day. McNamara & Riverbend lots have vault toilets and the main entrance from Grovenburg Road (Burchfield trailhead) has full facilities.
NOTE: During winter, the park is closed to all bikes for the winter and into spring until condiitions are dry enough on the majority of the mtb loop. That means NO bikes on property. Park reopens for biking in spring when conditions are consistently dry enough, cleared and inspected. Trails are available for hiking year round, XC skiing & tubing/sledding hills when conditions permit. Two outstanding disc golf courses are also located at Burchfield Park entrance.
For all the local MMMBA trails, monitor trail condition updates at these links for ongoing updates during the season: https://www.facebook.com/groups/midmichtrailconditions/ or mmmba.org/trail-conditions (from Trailbot.com feed)
