Genesee Valley Trail

Good

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's got a mix of sun and shade, a good round trip, this is definitely worth a visit.

Kensington Metropark Trail

absolutely Gorgeous

June, 2025 by bears64

Walking, biking, fishing, boating, wildlife, skiing, sledding, waterpark, picnic tables everywhere. Miles and miles, plenty of bathrooms everywhere. Swans, blue Herons, Sandhills Cranes, turtles….. I could go on forever. I love it here, drive 45 min. To an hour all the time to come. It’s my haven, it’s my peace. Water everywhere, very safe, park staff, park police. Come and enjoy!!

Dr. Richard D. Ruppert Rotary Trail

Alright

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's got some nice scenery, but with pretty bad pavement and an iffy round trip distance, I wouldn't bother unless you're local.

Accordion

Lakes Community Trail

Very Rough

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This is a pretty bad trail, with pavement being cracked and rutted all throughout, with some cracks being bad enough to launch me out of my seat.

There's nothing even to see except some playgrounds, as the trail is largely urban.

LAFF Pathway

Ok

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's a nice round trip but there's nothing to see except some schools.

Bicentennial Park Pathway

Pretty enjoyable

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This trail is a very enjoyable experience despite being rather short.

Pavement is mostly smooth except by the sports fields, plant root break the surface so badly I got launched into the air an inch or two.

Definitely worth a trip.

Russell Street to Patterson Street Trail

Nice, if short

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's nice and smooth pavement, but it's so short (even round trip) that's it's only kinda worth it if you walk it.

Riverbend Preserve Rail-Trail

Nice, if short

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A nice, quick, slightly hilly jaunt through the woods. Wouldn't recommend cycling through here, only walking.

Sycamore Trail

Iffy

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This trail is one of those half-urban, half-nature trails. It's a bit difficult to stay on the urban parts, as trail markings are a bit rare, with the trail really hitting its stride in the nature segments.

MSU to Lake Lansing Trail

Pretty Good

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A mix of urban & nature.

The nature segments are excellent, beautiful and lush but the urban parts can be difficult to stay, as markers are few.

Genessee Road Trail

Enjoyable

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A very nice trail that's nice and open all through with a good round trip.

Gale Road Trail

Ok

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Nothing really to see here except a few schools and some woods.

Nice round trip though.
