Confirmed from Trail 47 (MTB)'s own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about Trail 47 (MTB)

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (3 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This bike trail is a favorite among the mountain biking community in Wayne County. This area provides elevation change, wildlife with frequent deer and pheasant siting you’ll be able to appreciate Mother Nature. The trails are well maintained, fun, and a find in the suburbs that anyone should be taking advantage of.

★★★★★ — Realbc7 , Mar 2023

This place was amazing for biking and exploring. While it doesn’t have many features for mountain biking (MTB), there are plenty of trails to ride and enjoy. I definitely recommend biking here—just don’t expect intense downhill runs or extreme trails.
