Hill Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Michigan, set about 0.1 mile from Sharon Hollow and covering less than a mile round trip. The climb is almost flat, with a high point of 939 feet and only about 19 feet of total elevation gain and loss, making it a low-effort outing for riders looking to stay close to town.

Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Manchester show highs around 70°F in May and 75°F in September, with July the warmest month at about 83°F.
