Lakeshore Park

Novi’s Lakeshore Park mountain bike trail consists of 10.5 miles of singletrack that traverses a variety of terrain to satisfy both novice and experienced riders. Technical trail features, such as rock gardens, log piles, skinnies, and a pump track can be found alongside the trail throughout the system. In addition to the mountain bike trail, Lakeshore Park also features an extensive network of wider trails suited to walking, family biking, and cross-country skiing. The trail head and information kiosk is located at the south end of Lakeshore Park (601 South Lake Drive). Note that motorized vehicles are not permitted anywhere on park property.

    One of the common refrains from our recent membership survey was the need for more chapter promotion at our trails. We agree. MCMBA board member John Cox made arrangements for the printing of a stack of these cool weatherproof signs. Look for them to start popping up at a trail near you!
