From North Muskegon to Hart the White Lake Pathway is the only portion of the trail that lacks proper maintenance. All other municipalities mow the sides of the trail except the city of Whitehall.
Thankfully you are able to track your location through the app would definitely have gotten lost without the app a little Savior... a good majority of the trail was nice and smooth and definitely some narrow aspects but all in all what a fun trip
The section of trail from Ravenna to the west in rough shape and needs resurfacing like the Ottawa section is currently getting. Large cracks that make a ride not very enjoyable
Nice trails, urban southerntrail snd wooden northern trail.
Rode from belding to Greenville. Really nice and scenic ride. About 7 miles one way.
We have now rode nearly every section of the trail several times and highly recommend it. My favorite parts are from Ashton to Cadillac and from Cedar Rapids to Grand Rapids.
This is an excellent trail, great signage, benches, picnic tables, bathrooms, food stops along the way and beautiful views. The tree identifications are wonderful. Highly recommend. The trail is in excellent condition.
We live nearby in Idlewild and have rode nearly every section of this trail except from Chase to Reed City. We enjoyed most all of it except from Reed City to Evart. The path is very bumpy and the scenery is not great.
I drove quite a way to have difficulty finding parking, and signage. We chose the path because of the miles thinking we could get a good exercise but never saw half of the trail because we were lost. No very good pretty either.
This trail caused me to actually fall into a sink hole and brake through the cement . It has holes, huge cracks, unseen and discovered sink holes, horse crap randomly left around. It would be a beautiful path and was at one point but horse back and snowmobile riders have trashed it. And there was literally no maintenance kept on it.
Today we rode from the trailhead/parking lot at Frankfort east to Beulah. The paved portion rode through pretty countryside, and the fall colors were very nice. The gravel section leading into downtown Beulah was not as much fun. It felt a little awkward rolling through people’s front yards. But a lovely afternoon on the bike! Almost no elevation change, and pavement in very good shape.
