Bikes and a packed picnic on the trail of your choice — the Kal-Haven Trail toward Kalamazoo, or the paved Van Buren Trail down to Van Buren State Park. Pick your trail below.
We handle the bike reservations, picnic packing, and delivery of both to the trailhead — so all you have to do is show up and ride! Pricing starts at $40 per person.
Kal-Haven Trail
Click to read more about the Trail on AllTrails
South Haven trailhead: 66 N Bailey Ave, South Haven, MI 49090
The Kal-Haven Trail runs about 34 miles between South Haven and Kalamazoo on a crushed gravel path that follows along the Black River — shady and very scenic. Most groups ride a shorter out-and-back section — we'll help you pick a distance that fits your group.
Recommended picnic spot: the Kal Haven Outpost, a popular stop along the trail.
Van Buren Trail
Click to read more about the Trail on AllTrails
South Haven trailhead: 220 Aylworth Ave, South Haven, MI 49090
A paved ride south from South Haven down to Van Buren State Park with a mix of sun and shade — 5 miles each way, 10 miles round trip. Shorter and paved (versus the Kal-Haven Trail's crushed gravel), a good fit for families or a shorter outing.
Recommended picnic spot: Van Buren State Park — entry by bike is free, and it's a great place to eat and enjoy the beach.
Arrival
Rides start at 9:00 AM. At least one person in your party must arrive by 9:00 AM to collect bikes and lunch items.
Return
Half day rentals (1–4 hours): bikes due back at the trailhead by 1:00 PM.
Full day rentals (4+ hours): bikes due back by 4:00 PM.
Every price below is per person — mix and match bikes across your group.
| Option | Half day | Full day |
|---|---|---|
| Adult — Comfort Hybrid | $40 | $50 |
| Adult — E-Bike | $65 | $85 |
| Child — Own Kid's Bike | $30 | $35 |
| Child — Rides with adult (Trailer) | $35 | $40 |
| Child — Rides with adult (Tag-A-Long) | $35 | $40 |
Children can ride their own kid's bike, or ride along with an adult in a trailer or tag-a-long — no separate bike needed for those options.
For booking purposes, a child is considered age 2–10. We strongly recommend children under age 5 ride with an adult in a trailer or tag-a-long rather than on their own bike. Riders age 11 and older are booked as adults to ensure the right bike sizing.
We do not have a safe option for infants who cannot sit up independently. Please plan accordingly.
| Sandwich | Price per person |
|---|---|
| Turkey & Cheddar | $20 |
| Veggie & Hummus | $20 |
| PB&J | $10 |
| Grilled Cheese | $10 |
All lunches come with a bag of chips and a cookie. Bottled water provided for everyone.
