MTB Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Burchfield Park and Nature Area in Michigan, on city land. The trail is about half a mile from the park's center, and it makes an out-and-back trip of roughly a mile, with a high point of about 874 feet and a low of about 855 feet. The climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 3% grade near the middle of the route. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the nearby Eaton Rapids weather station show July highs around 82°F and lows near 61°F, while winter highs stay in the 30s. The Advanced MTB Loop sits just 0.2 miles away for a longer ride. The Burchfield Hiking Trail is about a mile off, and the Ram Trail and Sycamore Trail are both within about 7 miles.
