Wahlfield Mountain Bike Trails

What a trail day! Thanks to everyone who came out today and helped us get a huge chunk of the new South Parking Lot bypass trail built. We’ll continue to work on it this Fall so stay tuned for more trail days.

Sometimes trail building comes with unexpected perks. Like when park neighbors Michigan Bee Co. hand you a jar of their delicious local honey. 😁

And don’t forget, trail day tomorrow from 9-Noon starting at the South Parking Lot!

More changes coming to the mountain bike trails at Wahlfield! Yesterday, with a big help from Kent County Parks, we got started on the South Parking Lot bypass so that once completed, you will no longer have to ride through the South Parking Lot on the main loop. This will be a mix of reconfiguring existing trail and adding some new sections including some brand new areas along Mill Creek. You will still be able to access the trails from the South Parking Lot but from one trailhead instead of two (current "Red" entrance, 'Yellow" will be closed off). We'll post trail days to help get this built once scheduled.

The rain missed Wahlfield last night and the trails are riding great! Enjoy all the crazy fungus, it's that time of year. And if you're looking for something to do, go help Barney Rider work on Sawtooth at Merrell Trail (WMMBA) this morning, because he needs the help and you need some trail karma!

Lots of rain last night. Give the trails at least until this afternoon.

As any good trail builder will tell you, trails are never truly done. And that couldn't be more the case than with Wahlfield. But after over 13 years of building, we think we're down to our last big project (getting started this fall). That got us thinking about all the ways the trail has changed over the years so here is a little timeline. As always, thank you to all of the volunteers over the years and the hundreds of hours they've spent carving these trails out of cornfields, clay, and poison ivy! 😁

2013: Construction starts adding sections Goat Path, Fall of Utah, Hard C***r, Berry Patch (Original), and Corndogs

2014: Bartlett Ridge V1 and Swimming Holes added completing the main loop

2015: Wild Onions added

2016: Oxbow Run added (10 year anniversary!)

Wahlfield got a haircut today! If you see Joe & Sue Baltruzak, say thanks and buy them some tacos, because sweet mountain bike trails don't just happen. It takes all kinds of folks who give up their free time so we can have great trails. Thanks Joe & Sue, that's REAL trail karma!

Wahlfield got over 2 inches of rain last night, but it's been super dry. Please give the trails until late afternoon to dry out before you ride, trail run or hike. Remember, if you are leaving tracks, turn back. Don't ride mud. Thanks!🙂
