Maybury Mountain Bike Trails are located just outside Northville between 7 & 8 mile. The current trail is about 6.5 miles of rolling terrain through the hilly & sometimes gnarly terrain once was once the Maybury Sanatorium. This trail offers challenges for beginner and expert alike. The trail has many natural features mixed into the normal trail which can be bypassed by newer riders.
HEADS UP a recreation passport is required for vehicle entry and can be purchased at the park. Mountain bikers are asked to use the entrance off of eight mile. Trail closes for the spring thaw. The trail is open all season long.
This track is more technical than flowing, with short straights, and numerous tight turns over roots, rocks, and small steps. There are natural rock and root obstacles and a couple of man made log obstacles that are easily avoided for beginners. The trail has numerous "first aid" exits that lead you back onto the paved trails that loop around the park. These exits are useful if you have bike trouble, if you get tired, or if you have kids that may not be ready to do the full 6 mile trail. This is a popular trail due to its proximity to metro Detroit and is therefore very well maintained with downed trees being cleared within a day or two.
All types of riders will appreciate smooth and predictable grades. Some areas require a bit of confidence in climbing & steering, tight corners with gnarly roots. riders will appreciate thin & airy trr cover, not dense.
