River Raisin Heritage Trail

We loved this!

June, 2026 by tmspurr

We are staying at Sterling Park Campground and took the trail to River Raisin Battlefield. We absolutely loved it. The trail has been recently resurfaced, wide in most areas, along wetlands and just a wonderful ride. We almost considered going somewhere else due to the reviews, but so glad we didn’t. We’re going to explore more here but if you get a chance to ride this, DO IT! So refreshing!

Kensington Metropark Trail

Great trail even with closure

May, 2026 by pattie.batchman

Rode this trail on multiple rides over the Memorial Day weekend. Connected to it via the Milford trail and accessed it from two different directions to be able to complete the entire trail minus the closed section. Great views of lakes with bald eagles’ nests and white swans - along with folks fishing, riding paddle boats and enjoying the beach. Shared the trail with many bikers and walkers. Noted that many fast paced riders fail to give audible warnings when passing-which is dangerous! Great trail and look forward to riding it again in the future!!

Milford Trail

Enjoyed the Milford trail!

May, 2026 by pattie.batchman

It was easy to find while staying at Camp Dearborn over the holiday weekend in May. Path was well maintained with adequate warning of crossroads. Shaded in various areas for a great ride. Will look forward to riding it again!

Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park

Good Trail

May, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

It's a pretty decent trail with a great round trip.

Battle Creek Linear Park

Pretty Rough

May, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

While it has an excellent round trip if you the whole trail (including backtracking), the pavement is in rough shape with very few portions being smooth, you're alongside traffic for long segments, and some of it set in urban settings, you might want to choose a different trail altogether.

The only drinking fountain that I came across is by a baseball field by Brooks St. & Garfield Ave.

Battle Creek Linear Park

bladder buster

April, 2026 by benttandem

The Battle Creek linear park was very disappointing. Many parts of the trail have wide cracks across the width every 10 feet. If you do not have a flat tire bike this is very jarring. There are also no water or restroom stops on the entire length. And no directional signage or mile markers. There are several areas that are quite hilly. The only reason we gave it a two star instead of a one was there were a couple miles along the river that were smooth and very pleasant.

Kensington Metropark Trail

why bridge closure still??

April, 2026 by detroitgirl11

I love this trail but why is the bridge still closed? It was closed most of last year and it looks like nothing has been done (bridge is on east side of island lake entrance). This is a complete closure which prohibits anyone from taking a circular route.

Huron Valley Trail

still no crossing light

April, 2026 by detroitgirl11

Just had another close call at the Pontiac trail “crossing” This intersection needs to be a safety priority!!

University/Parks Trail

Great Trail

March, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

Sylvania River Trail

March, 2026 by clonetrooper5373
