The Hofma Preserve North Loop at Hofma Preserve in Grand Haven, Michigan is an easy 0.5-mile loop trail that features a peaceful walk through the woods.

This loop trail encompasses the northern section of Hofma Preserve which runs through the forest just south of a tributary that feeds the Pottawattomie Bayou. While this trail does not run very close to Pottawattomie Bayou or the creek that runs into the bayou, the Hofma Preserve land does run almost all the way to the water.

The trailhead can be found on both the north and east side of the parking lot - giving hikers the option to choose which way they want to hike this trail. The GPS track provided is a clockwise recording starting at the northern trailhead and ending at the eastern trailhead at the parking lot.

Pets

Dogs are allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out by the hiker.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time ๐Ÿ•ฆ, money ๐Ÿ’ฐ, and effort (including espresso shots โ˜•) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free ๐ŸŽ‰

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!๏ธ
