Saint Clair County has been working over the past couple years to acquire land to develop what they are calling the Columbus Park. They have expressed interest in having a MTB trail in the park in the past, but obviously the direction of the park will be determined by the will of the county residents.
That being said, they are holding the first Vision Session on November 27th, where they will solicit ideas for possible uses/activities to be held at the park.
The session will be held at the Columbus Township Hall @ 7PM on 11/27/07, and the hall is located at 1732 Bauman Rd., Columbus, MI.
The session is open to any St Clair County residents, so please make plans to attend and express your interest. I hope to attend also, but since I am not a resident of the country, I will just be observing. But, I think it’s important that we have country residents there expressing an interest in local single track.
As we know, this area of the region is lacking in trails. We have Ruby to the north, and Stony to the west, but there is a vast region in between with little to no off road riding.
If you plan on attending, please let me know, or post here. And PLEASE spread the word to other local riders you know.

We are having our first official trail day for the Stony Skills Park on Saturday September 22nd at 10:00AM. We will be working on the pump track construction, and also working to mark the locations of the holes for the stunts (Stony Creek will be using a tractor mounted auger to drill the holes for us)
There will be coffee and bagels/donuts in the AM, and will be breaking for pizza around lunch. Come check out the newest skills park in Michigan, and what could possibly be the largest pump track in the state!!
The skills park is located directly across from the enterence to Eastwood beach. You’ll see a dirt driveway leading back, and the skills park/pump track will be about 100 yards back on the left. Google map showing the location.
