Blue Trail is a mountain biking route in Island Lake Recreation Area in Michigan, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It is an easy ride with no elevation gain, so it works well as a short outing or a warm-up before linking to other trails in the area. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Whitmore Lake show July highs around 82°F with lows near 59°F, while winter highs stay in the 30s. Several other routes sit close by. Yellow Trail is about 1.3 miles away, and the Yellow & Blue Trail is about 1.6 miles away. Bucks Run and Coyote Run, both cross-country ski routes, are each about 2 miles off.
