Metro Detroit's riding is a ring of state recreation areas and Metroparks rather than one system — Highland and Milford, Pontiac Lake, Island Lake, Stony Creek to the northeast and the Pinckney–Potawatomi country west toward Chelsea. The tread is glacial: sandy ridges that drain in hours next to clay flats that stay greasy for days, so conditions vary more between parks here than in most regions. Expect punchy climbs, rocks left by the ice, and trails that ride best a day or two after rain.

After a storm some trails firm up within a day while others stay greasy depending on their soil. Riding wet, soft dirt damages trails and leaves ruts, so check the live mud reading on each trail before you head out. Check the live mud reading →
