Split into two sections, one paved and the other wooded with packed dirt, it's a decent trail but nothing special.
The first part is completely paved with not a single bump or crack that I saw, and the second is the wooded part that's a bit rougher though with a better view of the St. Joseph's River.
It's nice and smooth pavement, but it's so short (even round trip) that's it's only kinda worth it if you walk it.
While in Bowling Green for an event, my wife and I rode 14 miles on this nice smooth trail. We initially planed on starting at the Montessori school, but despite it being Good Friday, school was in session and parking there was prohibited. We then drove the short distance to The Black Swamp Preserve trailhead and were rewarded with clean, modern bathrooms and a short connecting trail lined with tree swallows and bluebirds perched on their houses.
We rode south 7 miles into a strong headwind but mostly sheltered somewhat by the trees and bushes along the trail. At 7 miles the trail opened up for the foreseeable distance and this old guy decided we would turn back. The ride north was a "breeze". :-)
I would not call this the most scenic trail, but it is very well maintained with good facilities every few miles.
If you are looking for a relaxing enjoyable ride, you will not be disappointed
Pretty scenery next to a lot of bodies of water and the river. There was a couple spots where it was iffy on where you were supposed to go and one that was caution taped off, but it was enjoyable. Choose how far you want to take it because I went the whole way and the only way to get back was to ride. Lol
Nothing to see or do here except a playground and crop fields
Nothing to see here but a river and a tree farm. Trail is very rough and uneven.
Great trail with nice river scenery, easy access to Metropark amenities and picnic spots along the way. It also connects at the south end to Huroc Park and eventually Lake Erie, and to the I-275 Metro Trail between Willow and Lower Huron Metroparks. Great ride for anyone of any age!
This is an enjoyable trail that takes you through downtown jackson that will take you through different landscapes including a bit of nature, behind a local elementary school, a park and a bit of urban setting.
As of 2023, the city has started to upgrade the section closest to Falling Waters Trail.
It's a good round trip experience and I would recommend it to anyone considering it.
KT is an fun nature trail that has some issues that keep it from being perfect. The first is road crossings, which are quite frequent. Another is that the trial is somewhat bumpy, with said bumps being invisible until ride over them with your bike.
Still, the trail is a pretty good length, and keeps you away from urban noises and distractions for the most part, as it keeps you in a nature setting for the whole trip.
I would definitely recommend this trail to anyone considering it.
This trail is a quick, done-in-under-30 min-type of trail. It starts off in a nature setting that quickly gives way to urban almost immediately, with nature returning in the last segment.
It is a little difficult to stay on this one as there is no trail marking or signage that I saw.
The last part is comprised of loose stone that might make a bike trip unpleasant, so consider walking this path.
The trail is made up of three segments of roughly (?) equal length.
There are no benches, trashcans, or water fountains on this trail, so be plan accordingly.
Signage gives warning about the possibility of ticks on this train, so maybe stick to the main path, ignore any offshoots, and don’t brush against any plants.
I found the trail to very enjoyable from start to finish, with my only two complaints being: it’s rather short, being maybe six miles roundtrip, and the other being that the surface is dirt and stone, so unless you have a gravel, dirt, or fat tire bike, you might want consider walking this one.
Road crossings are rare.
I would recommend the trail to anybody looking to avoid an urban trail and connect with nature.
