MELVIN FAMILY HIKING AND BIKING TRAILS
Generations of the Melvin family have loved Burt Lake and the work of Little Traverse Conservancy. When Mark Melvin discovered the 150-acre parcel tucked in between Burt and Mullett lakes for sale, he had a vision of creating mountain bike trails. His daughter Kathleen had recently introduced him to mountain biking, and he discovered that this part of northeastern lower Michigan could benefit from trails. His vision was to not only protect land, but to include enhanced outdoor recreation for the community. A total of 128 donors joined Mark to make the vision come true. A total of 8.5 miles were designed and constructed by Rock Solid Contracting, LLC, one of the highest quality mountain bike trail building companies in the country.
