Marquette Noquemanon Trail Network Ride

Marquette’s rocky ridges and deep green woods have helped turn the city into a destination for mountain biking. The Noquemanon Trail Network winds through terrain where short climbs, fast descents and Lake Superior country create a distinctive Upper Peninsula ride.

Rather than one fixed trail, NTN offers a network of connected routes with varying difficulty. A moderate loop can mix rolling forest singletrack with more technical segments, while experienced riders can seek out challenging rock features and descents.

ONCE YOU’RE THERE

Start at a designated NTN trailhead, study the current route map and choose an approximately eight-mile combination of open trails. Follow directional signs and return to the same lot.
