Proud Lake

The trails open to mountain biking are west of Wixom Road. They are now in great shape due in large part to MMBA volunteers. All are shared with equestrians, so check your speed, stay alert, and be prepared to yield the trail.

Trail Miles: 10

Entry Fees: All vehicles entering the park must have a Recreation Passport.  Passports can be purchased online or at the Michigan Secretary of State offices when renewing your license plate, or at a Self-Serve Kiosk at each park entrance.
