Clinton River Trail It should be better!! By angelride in 5/19/2012 12:43:24 PM | As a resident of Rochester, I'm fortunate to be able to have three trails at my doorstep. With that said, the run of the Clinton River Trail from Addams rd to it's end at Dequindre and 24 mile is very rough! There are ruts everywhere and large rocks making biking with a non-mountain bike treacherous. For walking its okay and at times scenic. I like others wish that they would just pave the trail like its Macomb counterpart the Macomb-Orchard trail. It seems that it would be a natural thing to do as the Clinton River leads into the Macomb-Orchard. Anyone out there know how to raise awareness and funds for something like this to happen? If paving is out then at least it could be better groomed like it other counterpart, Paint-Creek trail.
