Hampton Township Nature Trail

Rough

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This trial is pretty rough due to all that loose stone, so if you go on a bike, a fat tire one is prob best, or perhaps walk this one?

Vassar Rail Trail

Nice

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A nice trail that's a little bit hilly.

A bit of both urban and nature on this one, with urban winning out but I would recommend if you're in the area.

Fraser Township Trail (Iron Belle Trail)

Iffy

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Pavement is rough and there's nothing to see maybe either walk this one or skip it entirely.

Accordion

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.

Zilwaukee Pathway

Good Trail

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A nice trail whose view is unfortunately dominated by I-75 and power lines.

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.

Jewett Trail

Ok

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A nice short trail but the view is dominated by Grand Blanc High School

Grand Blanc Bike Path

Meh

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Kinda unimpressive and some very rough pavement.

With nothing to see and noise from a constant, I just wouldn't bother.

Southern Links Trailway

Broken boards on bridge

March, 2025 by deby5mcw

While my daughter was riding her horse across a bridge on 3/21/25 (from Millington to otter lake) the horse's leg went thru one of the boards on the bridge. It appeared that the boards had recently been replaced as there were pieces of cut boards in the creek bed below. Just wanted to let someone know before someone else falls thru and they or their horse gets injured. I'm sorry I don't know which bridge specifically, but like I said it was located between Millington and otter lake. Wasn't sure how else to contact anyone to report it (feel free to delete after whomever needa to know is told)

Fred Meijer Clinton-Ionia-Shiawassee Trail

Great Ride!

March, 2025 by ryanplewis05_tl

Nice, straight trail. Plenty of places for parking and amenities in each town. I wish it were paved all the way through, but in general the crushed limestone isn't a huge obstacle between towns. Highly recommend!
