Robinette’s

The Robinette’s trail system is a windy single track with elevation on the private farm that provides access to the public year round   The trail system is comprised of single track and portions run through the apple orchard on grass, trails, and gravel roads.   The trail system is shared with mountain bikers and is home to weekly Sunday runs put on by the West Michigan Trail Runners group.  You can access the trail by parking at Robinette’s on the south side of 4 Mile Rd or on the north side near the orchards.
