STARTING POINTS

Choose your starting point. Lakeshore Harvest Ride offers riders two starting points in Douglas, Schultz Park or South Haven at the Kal-Haven Trailhead. Saugatuck/Douglas and South Haven are two coastal cities approximately twenty miles apart. Together they offer riders the perfect setting to take in Lakeviews, countryside vistas, unique tour stops and experience the beauty of Southwest Michigan at harvest time.

ROUTE LENGTHS

Choose your route length. Lakeshore Harvest Ride has routes for every rider ranging from 20 to 58 miles in length.
  • Short routes:
    Depending on your starting point, the short routes offer riders scenic views, different tour stops and lunch served at their chosen start point
  • Medium routes:
    The medium routes offer riders more miles and more smiles with multiple tour stops to chose from. Featuring wineries, cider mills, family farms, orchards and art studios. Glenn Community Center is a choice spot to stop, refresh and meet for lunch
  • Long routes:
    Riders signing up to ride the long routes can cycle all the miles, visit every tour stop and choose to have lunch at Glenn Community Center or back at their chosen starting point
Please note: All bike routes are on paved roads and paths with traffic except for a 3-mile section of hard packed trail near the Kal-Haven Trailhead and some tour stop driveways.
