Over all, the trail is ok.
When the trail goes into Hillsdale it’s hard to follow.
After Hillsdale and passing the Baw Beese Park, the trail gets very narrow (trees and bushes touch both sides of your shoulders, low limbs too).
Stop and turn around when the trail crosses Blackbrigde rd.
If you do not turn around you will get wiped by pricker bushes and who knows what else.
Then when you least expect it you come on to an old railroad bridge that has a lot of holes in it and it’s about 20 feet off the ground.
Just avoid this part!

From Stocks Mill where we entered the trail to Sandy beach is a wonderful paved ride. If you go beyond Sandy beach, it is more like a flat mountain biking path. The path narrows till about shoulder width and is not maintained all the way to the end on Osseo. So if you are a person used to riding roads or paved trails, the first portion of the trail is for you. If you like more of a tight spaced trail go for the latter part of the trail.

"Nice paved trail, I use it for roller blading and my son rides his bike. Few bumpy areas, but many spots with shade and 1/2 of the trail runs along the Baw Beese Lake. Ends at a beach if interested in swimming."
