The Bass Lake Motorcycle Trail is a 24-mile loop that winds through a scenic hardwood forest. The trail is narrow and twisty, with terrain that is a mix of loose dirt and hardpack with some sandy sections. The trail also has a few small jumps and a large number of berms. The trail system is primarily for intermediate riders, with some beginner and limited expert-level terrain. The trail has two-way traffic.
The trail is for motorcycles only, with a maximum vehicle width of 28 inches. ATVs, UTVs, and Jeeps are all prohibited. A Michigan ORV sticker is required to ride. Camping is available at a nearby primitive campground that offers direct trail access.Dirt Bike Trail System
