Apple Blossom Trail

Side Note..

September, 2025 by the_masseuse

Forgot.. it’s quite hilly! ¿ Curvy too.. The asphalt in Caspian is a bit rough but the trails are worth it!

Apple Blossom Trail

Beautiful

I’m not sure why there’s no reviews for this trail, but it’s very pretty with lots of history. It seems short, but on the Caspian end it hooks up with Heritage Trail taking you to Pentoga Park. It’s just over 9 miles one way. Very scenic and pretty (especially in Fall) runs along the road and crosses it several times. Whole way is paved with shady spots and benches.

Conover-Phelps Trail

Lovely

September, 2025 by the_masseuse

Pretty and peaceful. It’s paved in Phelps but turns to gravel not longer after. Shaded mostly. I’m sure the tamaracks are really pretty in Fall. The ice cream store in Phelps is open till mid Sept, awesome place to get ice cream n baked goods after your ride.

Watersmeet to Land O'Lakes Trail

Rough

September, 2025 by the_masseuse

Unless you have a fat tire and don’t mind ATVs have at it. I tried with my gravel bike and turned back after about 50 feet.

State Line Trail

not a bike trail.

August, 2025 by brownlincolnt

This is an ATV trail which is NOT part of your description. I only went 20 miles on it and, even with the widest gravel tires the “rugged” disclaimer doesn’t suit the trail. There are huge holes left by atv tires. Most of the roads to cross were high up and I had to walk my bike up and down the sides of the intersection. The only people I met were on motor vehicles and I was covered in red dust by the time I returned to my car. Huge disappointment. Please fix your description ASAP!

Bergland to Sidnaw Rail-Trail

Ran/Walked the trail westbound

September, 2024 by quietglow

I ran (with a healthy dose of walking) the whole trail last weekend starting in Sidnaw. I found it to be a delightful trail, traversing many miles of northwoods with a few sections passing open farmland. I lost count of the apple trees (many with tasty apples) and grouse we spotted. There are opportunities for store stops in at least Bruce Crossing and Ewen (there's a good looking bar right on the trail in Ewen).

ORV traffic is definitely a thing, but we found people were 100% friendly and respectful to foot travelers. In fact, we were pretty sure that the word went out that we'd been on the trail all day and toward the western end people waved etc. Bring a bandana to deal with dust if it's been dry.

The surface is varied, but notably rocky in sections: wear shoes with a rock plate. I would not bike this trail on anything but a bike with 30+mm tires, and even then, it would likely be a slog. The highway is often nearby, but traffic is minimal and didn't bother me at all.

Agate Falls may be the most dramatic sight I've yet seen on a rail trail (and I have walked lots of the biggest rail trails). Absolutely stunning.

I would do this trail again (and hope to). Also note: the trail is 46mi long as measured by two Garmin GPS watches.

State Line Trail

state trail

September, 2024 by registerednutrn

This trail was fun, beautiful, safe and right off Buffalo Campground. The trail was all paved, a few bumps here and there, it takes you through deep woods, over bridges and rivers to see from the bridges. Loved this bike path! If you’re in the area it’s definitely a must ride.

Conover-Phelps Trail

Nice Northwoods trail

August, 2024 by tpacetti610

Started in Phelps right next to Candy/IceCream store! Nice place to relax and overlook the lake with clean bathrooms. Rode to Conover and had a great time at Club 45 (great burgers) which was 1.5 miles off the trail. Nicely paved riding out of Phelps with fun hills and curves. Trail flattens out a few miles out of Phelps. Pretty ride to Conover through the woods.

Three Eagle Trail

Loved It

August, 2024 by the_masseuse

Awesome trail! It was scenic, curvy, n hilly (small hills). Parked at Don Burnside park In Three Lakes, it’s right by the trail head. Make sure to bring money for Eagle River! The Osprey nest was cool to see and hear! I thought the three bridges were super cool too.

Iron Ore Heritage Trail

Hilly and shady and educational!

July, 2024 by creischl

We rode the trail on a July morning--68 degrees and sunny, perfect for biking--from downtown Marquette to Ishpeming and back, a total of about 37 miles, with a side trip to the Michigan Iron Industry Museum. This trail totally exceeded my expectations in terms of scenery and historical information. It had a terrific asphalt surface for 75% of the way and the gravel sections were smooth and easy. The first six miles out of Marquette are quite steep and there are many up and down sections along the whole trail. This only added interest and fun (compared to some flat, straight rail trails). We ride Class 1 e-bikes so we had assist when we needed it. Lots of benches and a few restrooms along the way. Encountered a charming group of children on decorated bikes parading through Negaunee along the way. Perfect!

Highly recommend the Midtown Bakery and Cafe in Check out the Herbed Lemonade--right along the main street across the street from the Love and Bicycles bike shop downtown. (One member of our group of 6 needed a wheel repair and the bike store had this done in two hours.). On the way back, we took the marked cut off to the Michigan Iron Industry Museum--an easy 1 mile track through the woods to an well-designed museum where we spent an hour learning lots about the region. Many well-composed trail signs along the way also offer historical information.

Marquette itself was a beautiful city with friendly people and many good restaurants and an easy-going vibe. We rode the Marquette Multi-Use Path along Lake Superior up to spectacular Presque Isle Park the next day, stopping at galleries along the way. Totally recommend this Michigan Upper Penninsula riding experience!

Conover-Phelps Trail

Lots of hills

July, 2024 by redpine2001

Started in Phelps becomes very hilly, pavement ends after two miles. Then crushed gravel, trail flatten out. Pretty remote not my favorite. Stay with the Villas county trails. ¿¿
