Rode on this trail 6/2011 from Farnsworth Metro Park to Providence then crossed the river to Grand Rapids. Very good road for biking.
Pros:
Great scenery
Many benches for resting along the way
Mostly shaded from the sun
Great geological examples
Cafe's and restaurants in Grand Rapids (Make sure to check out Rita's!)
Well populated with hikers, runners and fellow bikers during the day
Cons:
A few trail sections suffering from water wash-out but no biggie!
A few stretches were newly paved with gravel making travel with a road bike rather taxing
Make sure to take along snacks and water as there are no facilities between Farnsworth and Grand Rapids.
