Wabash Cannonball Trail

genuinely terrible for long ride

January, 2026 by elenakramer.ohio

The first 15ish miles are paved and then almost EVERYTHING after that is stone and mud and dirt and you are in the middle of nowhere. Now, I could have done more research but I was not prepared to have to cut through random properties and factories to continue the trail. We had to cross a live railroad just to stay on track. The majority of the view is just cornfield. There are also not many places to stop for food or bathrooms or anything. You cut through wauseon, which has some places, but other than that there isn’t a lot. Anyways- I’m traumatized!

Clinton River Park Trail - Macomb County

New to this

Just found this trail by accident. It’s s just a beautiful,peaceful trail that I can enjoy on my bike ride without worrying about car traffic . The country within the city. This will be one of my favorites for sure.

Kensington Metropark Trail

Good Wokout

November, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This is a pretty hilly trail with few stretches of flat, level terrain.

Accordion

Southwest Greenway

Decent

November, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

IT's an okay trail, but as it's so short, it's only real use is to connect to the Detroit Riverwalk, otherwise skip it.

Lake Erie Metropark Trail

Decent

November, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's sunny, wide and open, a good round trip, and has a great view of Lake Erie. The northern portion by Carlson High School is pretty rough but evens out quickly.

Clinton River Park Trail - Macomb County

Hilly and Narrow

October, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's a mostly shady trail, with a few moments of sunshine to be found. The trail becomes very narrow and twisty south of m59, so be careful in this section.

Clinton River Trail - Oakland County

Washed Out

October, 2025 by kjhgfd

Sad to say it's been over a year, and the best section of this trail is still closed. It was a great connection to the Macomb Orchard Trail. Any info on a fix would be greatly appreciated. Would like to help out in any way possible.
Detour route has heavy traffic.

Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park

Nice ride and great scenery

October, 2025 by terrytof

Very enjoyable ride from Whitmore Lake to Pinckney. Some of the nicest scenery in the area. Can’t wait to go again.

Kiwanis Trail

First 2 miles from the north to the south are very bad! Water puddles and torn up asphalt. My wife had an accident when she was forced into the thicket. Do not recommend riding bike here. Never going back.!!

Slippery Elm Trail

Pretty Good

September, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This mostly sunny trail offers an excellent round trip distance so you can get a good workout, but doesn't offer much in term of sightseeing.

Kensington Metropark Trail

Wonderful Loop

September, 2025 by pkloren

Biked the 8.4 mile loop today with great weather. Not too many others on the path with a mixture of walkers, bikers, and in-line skaters (bless their hearts). Today is Friday, September 12th. As such, while the beaches were open, no food facilities, rental facilities or other manned attractions were open. Having said that, the trail was magnificently maintained and I enjoyed the 1+ hour experience

Border-to-Border Trail

TERRIBLE signage

August, 2025 by redina.simon

Started at Bandamere Park through Ann Arbor to Ypsilanti. The signage through Ann Arbor was terrible especially at major cross roads. More signage and larger than 4x8” (sometimes so faded you couldn’t read them) placards at intersections would make using the trail more enjoyable.
