Pheasant Gates is a short, flat mountain biking route in Michigan, set on Regional Agency Land. The out-and-back path is about 0.8 miles long, with a high point of 940 feet and a low of 917 feet. The climb is barely worth noting, with a total gain of 67 feet for the whole trip. The route is easy to fit into a longer ride. It sits close to several other mountain biking trails, so it works well as a stop along the way rather than a destination on its own. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 76°F, with July peaking near 83°F. Boulders & Flow and Thru the Hawthorns both lie about 0.1 mile away, and Hawley Flats and Farm Lane are each about 0.2 mile off.
