Nice, flat trail. Some parts are under construction/repair. But most is still rideable.
The mostly shady (some sun peeks through) main path is absolutely wonderful and crack free (offshoots are a different matter), with a excellent round trip and ultimately connects to the MI air line trail, I would strongly recommend this one to anyone looking.
The two miles by McHattie Park are pretty rough, you might want to skip that section.
If you aren't going to use it to get on another trail, I just wouldn't bother, as there isn't anything to do or see here.
I enjoy walking and riding my bike on both the paved and unpaved portions of the trail. Great river views with Deer, Fox, Turkey and Eagle among other wildlife. The Williams County Veterans Memorial is a very short distance from the east entrance to the trail on the fairgrounds and well worth the extra ride.
This is a fairly good trail, as long as you don't mind a mostly marsh/swamp style of scenery, with power lines also dominating. It's an enjoyable ride despite that, with a good round trip, and smooth pavement, so I would defiantly recommend if you're looking for a good trail.
Although there's nothing really to see here, this mostly shaded trail has a good round trip distance with some river crossings to break up the scenery, though I might skip this one.
I feel this trail is a bit of a mixed bag, as it has an excellent round trip and is completely open to the sun, but the pavement is very rough and badly needs an upgrade (which seems to have started around 2025) throughout most of the trail.
With that said, I would cautiously recommend this trail if you're wiling to try it.
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!!
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.
Split into two sections, one paved and the other wooded with packed dirt, it's a decent trail but nothing special.
The first part is completely paved with not a single bump or crack that I saw, and the second is the wooded part that's a bit rougher though with a better view of the St. Joseph's River.
GMPT is a enjoyable but short trail that's full of tight twists and turns to the point riding a bike might be a bit iffy.
You might want to walk this one but I do recommend it.
