River Trail Loop

River Trail Loop is a short, easy mountain biking loop in Michigan, about 0.87 miles long and sitting at roughly 936 feet. It starts and ends in Sharon Hollow, which makes it an easy stop for a quick ride close to town. The route is a flat loop with only a small climb of 14 feet and a slight drop of 55 feet. The steepest part comes at about 0.39 miles in, with a grade of about 3 percent. That makes it a low-effort ride, and the whole trip can be done in under an hour. For comfortable weather, late spring through early fall works best. Typical averages from the nearby Manchester weather station show highs around 70°F in May and 75°F in September, with July peaking near 83°F. Hill Trail is just 0.1 miles away for another mountain biking option. Manchester Shared-Use Trail and Yellow Trail are both about 4 miles off for hiking.
