Great trail very scenic and quiet. Lots of shade. Wish there was restrooms along the way but over all great trail. Will be back to do the whole trail. Started out at schoeneherr and clinton river rd trailhead.
Rode the trail on a Thursday afternoon in May 2024. This became an instant favorite. Tunnels take you under any traffic. Following the river, the trail is winding and has a few good hills. Mostly shaded. The trail is not well marked and there are a number of off shoots. We ended up taking most of the side trails and did 23 miles round trip.
Rode from Marine City High School, north on the inland route to Yankee Road, north of St. Clair and then back south thru St. Clair and on the section that runs close to the river. This trail needs work! It is rough - lots of root bumps, bump at every road crossing and the weeds along Recor Road and King Road south of St. Clair cover half the trail. In one spot on the King Road section, I had no choice but to let the weeds rub on my legs - they are that far over the trail. Won't be back here until improvements are made.
I rode the entirety of the Macomb Orchard Trail starting in Rochester and ending in Richmond. I rode on a very hot early September day and found that the trail was mostly shaded and provided good respite from the intense sun. The trail is in very good condition, is well marked and the towns along the trail provide options for food and refreshments.
There are many road crossings especially when starting in Rochester. It was fairly easy to find the trail but you will have to cross busy intersections which will force you to stop and wait for traffic signals. The road crossings do become less frequent halfway to Richmond but they are frequent enough to disrupt you from a nice, steady cadence.
Along with more frequent road crossings in the first miles from Rochester the scenery is mostly residential at first. Around mile 10 or 11 there is a welcome shift to more rural and wooded scenery. I would rate the ride from Romeo to Richmond a 5/5 with the ride from Rochester to Romeo a 3/5.
Started in Rochester due to slight incline to Lake Orion. Park in municipal lot as website says. We had to download the map to find exact start just over footbridge. Had lunch at Paint Creek Cider Mill. Trail very well maintained and shady.
I biked from Marine City to Blue Water Bridge and back with a mountain bike (50 miles). I would never recommend using a rode bike on this path as it’s too bumpy. In my opinion the scenery seems mostly urban mixed with suburbs. I downloaded the map using the Rails to Trails app and for the most part the map allowed me to pick up the trail when there was a “break” between sections. This trail is not for leisure family fun. It runs along busy roads with many interaction crossings and not many places to stop for water. The Blue Water Bridge was very cool to see. And I stopped for lunch in Prot Huron. I’m glad for the experience but I won’t bike this again .
Great trail for a long ride thru the woods. Plenty of shade with a little sun as well. Can’t wait until fall to see all the beautiful colors that it will bring to this ride.
Great ride by lakes and through the woods. A few hills and beautiful scenery. You might even see some horses out grazing.
Started at the Port Huron Koa which is along the eastern paved portion. I went west and rode all the way to Avoca. The paved portion is a breeze, the unpaved portion is actually really smooth. Loved the old train bridge. Turned around in Avoca and the rode past KOA to other end. 25 miles in all. Loved the peace and quiet. Highly recommend the ride. Watch out for turtles crossing the road!!
I rate this trail with 3 stars because of the good asphalt surface and the connection to other trails. The majority of the trail is boring north of 29 Mile heading towards Richmond. Not many places to stop along the trail and enjoy the view, because there aren’t any, definitely needs improvement.
