Grand Rapids rides the moraine country on both sides of the Grand River — Cannonsburg and the Ada township trails northeast of town, Luton and the Egypt Valley connectors, and flowing machine-built singletrack close to the city. Sandy loam over glacial till drains reasonably but the low sections hold water, and spring thaw is the limiting factor rather than summer rain. A dense network for a city its size, with a lot of it rideable straight from a trailhead.

Right now 74 of 77 featured Grand Rapids trails are reading soft or too muddy to ride. Grand Rapids is mostly decomposed granite soil, which drains fast and firms up quickly after rain, so after a storm some trails firm up within a day while others stay greasy. 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 →
