This trail is a fast single track, with small quick roller coaster hills near its end.(A slight orienteering challenge to find this trailhead if there aren't any track marks). When you leave the Museum Loop, make a right on the street and ride to the next intersection. Cross the intersection to the field and follow the track marks until you get to the School House trailhead at the edge of the woods.

Trail is rough. Lots of roots everywhere, rocks as well, and in bad spots around turns. Trail currently overgrown and there is constantly something either slapping your legs or face. The trails are narrow and the turns seem extremely tight for the potential speed you might have. Not a good flow, if that’s what you are looking for.

Most of the trails here on not on OpenStreetMaps unfortunately. Does anyone have good GPS data that they can send me? I am in the Novi area but am willing to add it to OpenStreetMaps.org. Strava and many other map companies purchase their data from OpenstreetMaps. If it isn't on OpenStreetMaps it won't show on Strava. The slower the GPS unit moves, like walking vs riding, the more accurate it is. My email address is originalgravity at hot mail. That is two words put together with the standard ending that every hot mail user has. thx
