EASIEST
Otter Run
Easiest route offers intro to cross-country, or a quick warm-up. Otter’s 1.3 mile inner loop is on flat terrain, while the more difficult .4 mile Outer Otter includes short climb and descent. Lighted trail open until 10pm daily.

Jack’s Rabbit
Accessing this 3 mile loop includes a gradual climb at start of Stag Hollow. Take left split at pts 2 & 3 to get to this fairly flat, scenic trek thru trees/fairways, gradual uphill and downhill sections.

Aspen/Stride Right
Tranquil 6.5 mile loop winding thru pine forest, mostly flat run.

MORE DIFFICULT
Stag Hollow
Trail begins between Buck lift and parking lot, gradual climb levels off, serves as main route for accessing other trails.

Loon’s Lane
Turn right at pt 3, mile-long route features mostly flat terrain with two return options: either head right up the Aspen climb, or go left for an easier (but longer) return to the Cross-Country Center via Aspen.

Doe’s Delight
Take right split at pt 2 for a long gradual climb up Stag Hollow to access Doe’s Delight. At pt 16 head right for a series of up/downhill sections, featuring panoramic views.

Kirk’s Causeway
Entry/exit of trail system, begins 50 yards up the side of Nason’s Trail (a downhill run).

MOST DIFFICULT
Hawk Ridge
Scenic black diamond trail thru the Michigan Legacy Art Park. At pt 16, follow Doe’s Delight shortcut to pt 15 towards Hawk Ridge trailhead. Downhills are steep and fast!

Flying Squirrel
Technically challenging trail that winds through the Art Park. A roller-coaster run with sharp climbs and harrowing descents.

Eagle’s Revenge
Split off Stag Hollow at pt 19, it’s a long cardiac climb to North Face downhill complex, followed by demanding downhill descents. Truly a test of endurance. Nepsa: A steep, winding descent off the top of pt 13, Nepsa joins Aspen at the bottom of this exhilarating downhill run.
