Overview

Mission

Create and maintain a non motorized multi-use trail system that provides a place to experience mountain biking, hiking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, trail running and more in a natural environment while providing the opportunity to increase commerce for area businesses

What it reported doing in 2025

Build new climb trail to access the City bike trails in Munising. Reroute at the bottom to avoid an unsustainable area (trail has been collapsing to the wet clay on a trail cut on the hillside).

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue.
