Marquette Mountain Bike Trail Conditions
Marquette rides on iron-country bedrock above Lake Superior, and the Noquemanon Trail Network threads it together — flowing hardpack on the South Trails, rock slab and root through Harlow Lake and the Migi Zibi country north of town. The soil is thin over rock, so it drains fast and rides well within hours of rain, but the season is short and the lake keeps spring cold. Snow holds here long after downstate has dried out.
