This trail is closed from Howard City to Big Rapids Michigan. According to the local people it will take until November of this year to finish paving. It is a 21 mile stretch of the trail. We had to turn around.
From building to Greenville is a good 5 miles of extremely rough asphalt, almost crushed gravel, and it about shook my innards out
If I had a road bike I probably would give this 3 stars at best because it's a little rough in places. It was fine on my gravel bike. However, it was beautiful and quite shady on a 90 degree day. We stopped at the Conklin Bar which I would give 5 stars :-). Our return to the Fruit Ridge trail head for the Fred Meijer connector was 10 miles. We had a great time and will do it again.
Yes, the surface is old, cracked, and heaved. On a super light and stiff road bike trying to go fast, it would be awful. However, on my touring bike with its 1.5-inch tires and sprung Brooks saddle, while riding at a tourist's pace the surface didn't bother me (you do need to pay attention in spots). What makes this trail great is the ambiance and wildlife. There is an abundance of mature forests, deep cuts through hills, and wildlife. There are spots on this trail that you'll just want to stop and take in the beauty. I saw dozens of rabbits, squirrels, and suicidal chipmunks along with several deer. The rabbits especially showed little fear and many watched me ride by as they waited on the side of the trail. A groundhog (one of several I saw) even charged across as I was going by and collided with me breaking my front fender! If you've been put off from riding this trail because you heard it was in bad shape I suggest you reconsider.
Nicely paved and shaded trail. Restrooms at the south end. Parking lots on either end. Rolling hills.
We parked at the SP going west, it’s downhill for a few miles. Much of the crushed stone is like pavement, a few sandy spots. Riding a tandem going 10 miles each way. A nice ride with some history and much shade.The last few miles coming back are up hill,a bit tough but a good trail. Frankie
Started at Linear Carpark going east taking the loop around the city. Don’t pay attention to the old reviews! This trail is fine, a bit bumpy to start, some has new blacktop. Two short detours, be sure to follow, but otherwise a great trail, safe easy to follow. We did 13 miles, Frankie
Just awful! Caught it south of Covert and quickly abandoned it. Chose to use the county roads.
63 year old couple. We biked from Gober west 12 miles and back. It was more of a two track road most of the way. A few soft patches and rough spots snuck up on us. But the rest was fairly smooth. After we rode we drove north to Cranes Pie and Pastry to try a pie flight. Worth the drive. We did not want to bike the other direction.
