The DTE Energy Foundation Trail is a trail development in the Waterloo Recreation Area. Development of the Waterloo mountain bike trail system is a massive undertaking requiring significant monetary and human resources. Bonfyre Trail Fest is excited to support the Potawatomi Mountain Biking Association (PotoMBA) in their fundraising efforts to support the Waterloo trail system project! A portion of all race entry fees will be donated to the PotoMBA. We are happy to be sharing the trails!
