Your First Bikepacking Trip Starts Here
Co-hosted by J.P. Wanderwheels and Lake Orion Bike & Adventure Co.
Looking for an overnighter close to home? We’ve got you covered. Along with Lake Orion Bike & Adventure, we’ve designed the perfect intro to bikepacking – low stress, high reward, and plenty of support along the way.
Saturday, we’ll meet at the shop and roll out on a mix of trails and quiet back roads en route to Seven Lakes State Park. With over 230 acres of water, it’s the perfect setting to unwind, whether that means paddling, swimming, fishing, or just kicking back by the shoreline.
Along the way we’ll stop at Cook’s Farm Dairy to get ice cream, see the cows, pet a calf, and then onward to camp
We’ll take care of dinner with a camp cookout, followed by a classic campfire, and a few sweet treats to round out the night.
Sunday starts slow and easy with fresh coffee and light snacks. Once we roll out we’ll drop by Crust Coffee and Bakery in Fenton. And later visit downtown Clarkston for some famous mac and cheese from the Union. Then it’s an easy ride along the safety pathway from Clarkston to Lake Orion.
It’s the perfect way to make your first (or next) bikepacking trip a great one.
August 8–9, $55 per rider
