We are contemplating a run from Lk Orion to Imlay City and are wondering what kind of shape the trail is north of Dryden...If anyone has ridden since tcphillips did in July, I'd love to hear about it! Thanks!

The trail in Lapeer County north of Bordman Rd. (and south of Imlay City) has been mowed.

It has not been graded or improved, but the weeds and underbrush have been held at bay.

The trail is still non-technical single track along which the rider can pass single file, and the hard-packed surface is quite nice for those in the mood for a country ride.

This is still not a ride for the exceedingly casual biker, but nonetheless a nice ride for multi-gear, fat-tired bikes.

Don't forget the DEET-based insect repellent and plenty of water.
It's tick and deer-fly season.

Lapeer County, MI -- Bordman Rd north to Imlay City

Updated trail conditions....

I had occasion to ride north from Leonard, Michigan/Bordman Rd to Imlay City, MI this past weekend.

The trail does not appear to have been mowed this season as of this date.
There is a gravel single track along the right-of-way that is easy riding, but it is narrow (single file) and the grass is high to both sides.

There is nothing particularly wrong with this, but those looking for a leisurely ride along a groomed trail won't find it here.

If one is going to ride the Polly Ann in Lapeer County, MI, I recommend a DEET-based insect repellent to keep both flying insects and ticks at bay.

Updates as the season progresses....
