It's a pretty decent trail with a great round trip.
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.
So the trail is smoother for the Saranac To Ionia portion than it is from Saranac to Lowell. Both are mostly gravel, but the gravel is better heading East from Saranac than west. I recommend parking at the Saranac boat launch and heading East to Ionia.
You'll be taken through urban and nature on this trail, with some road biking required.
Rode from belding to Greenville. Really nice and scenic ride. About 7 miles one way.
Lovely area to walk your dog, or go to see pretty overlooks, wildlife and just submerse yourself in peaceful settings. Great place for photography as well. There’s one straight trail and many trails that loop around and off that main trail. It’s well maintained and groomed.
Gorgeous views of the river, wildlife and easy going trails, though some can be a little bit wet so bring some waterproof boots!
A new section has been completed that fills the former gap between Dexter-Huron Metropark to Delhi Metropark on the Huron River.
You don't send a lot of time in a nature setting with this trail, with the first three or so mile south of Hillsdale being alongside a busy road and pretty rough pavement to boot, and with the last three odd miles being dirt, you might want to skip this trial completely. Falling Waters Trail is short distance driving away, so try that one instead.
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.
