Cedar Creek Motorsport Trail (North Loop)

Cedar Creek Motorsport Trail (North Loop) offers a scenic and sandy 9-mile off-road adventure through the wooded terrain of Muskegon County, Michigan, making it an ideal destination for dirt bike and ATV riders of all skill levels. The trail winds through relatively flat to gently rolling forested landscapes with elevations ranging from 632 to 708 feet, delivering a riding experience reminiscent of a natural motocross track. This loop features loose, sandy soil that becomes particularly deep in several sections, providing an engaging challenge that tests throttle control and standing riding techniques. While beginners can safely build their confidence on the softer terrain, intermediate and experienced riders will enjoy the flowing switchbacks that permit spirited, higher-speed maneuvers. Navigating this bi-directional loop requires constant awareness, as oncoming dirt bikes and quads are common throughout the system. The trail primarily accommodates off-road vehicles up to 50 inches in width, making it unsuitable for full-size four-wheel-drive vehicles or wider SxSs. Riders should expect a cumulative elevation gain of around 476 feet, adding minor but frequent rises and dips to the sandy journey. Safe staging is available near Ryerson Road, and a valid Michigan Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) license and trail permit are required to access this state-managed trail system.
