While the Warnaar Trail is unofficially open, there is still work to do. Namely fundraising.

How can you help? By donating personally or helping us find corporate donations!

Raising additional funds is necessary to replenish SWMMBA’s trail building fund. This will allow SWMMBA to complete the Warnaar Trail improvements and provide ongoing funds to build more singletrack trails in Southwest Michigan.

Initial funding for the construction of the Warnaar Trail was provided by the SWMMBA general trail building fund and support from St. Joseph County Parks & Recreation Department.
The main loop (approximately 7 miles) has been initially machine built. Additional funding will be needed to complete 1-2 miles worth of improvements that will include:
▫️Technical skills segment
▫️Rock features (sandstone boulders and outcropping stone chunks)
▫️Advanced option lines
▫️Rollers and tabletop jumps

Equipment rental and purchasing rock material will be a bulk of the additional costs needed to complete the final trail improvements for the Warnaar Trail.

Options are also available for personal and corporate donor recognition on the kiosk at the trailhead, more information is available in our sponsorship packet linked on the page above. ... See more
