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.
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.
The northern half is mostly shadey nature with a round trip of 12 miles, and the southern half is a bit more rough, as it's a mix of urban and nature with a round trip of 30 miles, from a grand total of 42/43.
You might want to skip the 76th street section, as it is a road-only segment, with very fast traffic and no bike lanes/sidewalk to keep you safe.
I applaud the State of Michigan for making this trail system possible. This truly is a mecca for the outdoor enthusiast in many capacities. Friends from Dayton (OH) and Kalamazoo recently convened in Cadillac to cycle the entire 92-mile route, and must confess that we had an absolute blast! This is an incredible trail network that has the capacity to enhance tourism and economic growth along with supporting wellness and fitness, and reinforce the State’s natural beauty and outdoor appeal. Michigan - You rock! Thank you! Gary Victor Kettering, OH
It's a nice round trip with good scenery in the southern segment, though linking up with the northern portion is bit annoying, and the pavement in the northern area can be *very* rough.
I live close by so this is my go to trail when I don't want to compete with vehicles. Crushed stone the entire length with the western half was redone in 2024. Both trailheads on east and west ends are congested on the weekends but it's nice to see people out and enjoying the outdoors. In between is much less crowded with several places to jump on from parking area's and crossroads. It's well maintained for fallen trees, branches, gopher holes and wash outs but some areas with inclines could use some attention to bring it back to smooth surface. Average rider can complete it in 3-5 hours and maybe even return back in one day. Could use me maps along the trail indicating where you are on the trial.
Just finishing up the entire trail this week and impressed. The only rough spots are coming north out of Grand Rapids to just north of Rockford it can be congested and bumpy from cracks and root heaves. From Big Rapids to Reed City is can be the same as well without the congestion. The entire trail is paved and is smooth and enjoyable to ride.
