SaveThe NTN SingleTrack trail system is a network of trails in Marquette, MI designed for non-motorized recreational use. Parts of the trail system have been around for 20 or more years, but new trails are constantly being built using IMBA (International Mountain Biking Association) standards for design and construction. The area offers diverse riding experiences from easy flow trails to big freeride lines across two primary trail systems, the North and South Trails. Together with the rugged nearby Harlow Lake/Little Presque Isle riding zone and the hand built RAMBA Trails to the west in Ishpeming, the region offers over 150 miles of singletrack linked up by the Iron Ore Heritage Trail and city pathway. Combine the great riding with a thriving small, university town on Lake Superior and you have the equation for a must visit destination.
The singletrack in Marquette County has received national acclaim as a premier mountain bike destination in several publications including Bike Magazine, Silent Sports Magazine and others. As of August 2014 the NTN and nearby RAMBA trails received Bronze Level Ride Center status from the International Mountain Biking Association.
