In this particular Michigan park, biking options are somewhat limited. The terrain is mostly flat and paved.
While there aren't any designated bike trails here, the roads within the park can be used for leisurely rides.
However, cyclists should exercise caution as these routes are shared with motor vehicles.
During peak times especially in summer months or weekends, traffic could pose a potential hazard to bikers on roadways.
Also note that helmets must always be worn while cycling - it's not just law but also good safety practice!
Remember too that bikes need to yield right of way when pedestrians are present on paths or crosswalks.
Lastly remember: respect nature by staying only on marked areas; off-road biking isn't permitted due to environmental concerns.
