Riley Trails - Ottawa County, Michigan - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

Riley Trails is a 300 acre site consisting of rolling terrain, beech-maple forest, pine plantations and a 40 acre grass mound that was once an active landfill (currently closed to the public). Riley Trails features 7 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking and cross-country skiing.
Riley Trails includes 40 acres that was formerly the Southwest Ottawa County Landfill. The landfill cap is closed to the public to protect the cap from damage and because of potentially harmful methane gas venting through the pipes. Since the landfill has been closed and capped for several decades, the gas levels are significantly reduced. The landfill area remains closed to the public, however, until gas emissions are studied and determined to be at safe levels. In the future, the Parks hopes to open the hill to the public for trails, overlooks and sledding.
