  • All proceeds from this ride go directly to the support, maintenance, and further development of the White Pine Trail through the efforts of the Friends of the White Pine Trail.
  • The Friends of the White Pine Trail is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization.
  • In the spring of 2003 the Michigan Department of Natural Resources withdrew most of their trail maintenance activities as a cost-saving measure. Maintenance of the trail is being provided by the Friends of the White Pine Trail in conjunction with the various communities along the trail and with the Pere Marquette Snowmobile Club during the winter.
  • Thank-you to all our volunteers who freely give their time and effort so that all the proceeds of the ride can go directly towards the continued improvement of the White Pine Trail.
