Island Lake Pathway

Pretty ride through State Park

March, 2023 by bklemz_tl

Very scenic ride and part of the larger Great Lake to Lake trail across Michigan. Many hills that provide a solid workout. Go slow and be cautious of pedestrians and kids near the beaches and picnic areas.

The paved surface has many bumps and could be improved, but not an issue navigating on my hybrid bike tires. I've ridden much worse.

About two-thirds through the park, the dedicated bike trail ends, but easily connects to the park road. There is not much traffic at this end of the park, but use caution when navigating around the hills and curves.

Island Lake Trail Connector

Connector Trail

March, 2023 by bklemz_tl

Hard packed gravel trail that is easy to ride and connects Brighton to Island Lake State Park. Easy to miss the east entrance in Island Lake -- be sure to turn before crossing the railroad tracks!

Fieldcrest Pathway

An Important Link

March, 2023 by bklemz_tl

Highly functional trail connecting Island Lake State Park to the Lakelands Trail. Parallels US-23 throughout, so expect noise and not much in the way of scenery. There is a one mile gap at the south end to reach the Lakelands Trail. Fieldcrest Road has minimal traffic and works as a connector, but use extreme caution in this stretch, especially navigating around the highway ramps.

Good hills along this stretch to provide a solid workout.

Accordion

Huron Valley Trail

Important connector

March, 2023 by bklemz_tl

This trail is a vital connector between Island Lake State Park & Kensington to South Lyon and the Airline Trail in Wixom and beyond. It is part of the growing Lake to Lake Trail across Michigan.

Despite its utilitarian function, it has some nice features in its own right. The trail was resurfaced in 2022 and is a pleasure to ride. The portions between Pontiac Trail and Wixom, and I-96 to South Lyon are scenic and fun to ride. Wildlife is common in these stretches.

Some of the road crossings are busy and dangerous and caution must be taken. These sections would not be advisable for kids. A portion of the trail climbs the former New Hudson landfill, which makes for a great workout and builds those climbing muscles!

Kensington Metropark Trail

Scenic park loop

March, 2023 by bklemz_tl

I ride this loop trail nearly every week during the warm months. Always plenty to see no matter the season. Wildlife spotting is common throughout, including deer, turkey, cranes, waterfowl and the nesting osprey. Perfect combination of hills and distance to make a good training workout.

Easy connections at both ends to Milford or to Island Lake State Park (part of the Lake to Lake Trail)

Michigan Air Line Trail

Great walking and biking trail

February, 2023 by fsxcvyjvdh

Well paved, plenty of space on and plenty of branch off spots on this trail.

Lohr-Textile Greenway

Nice Ride

January, 2023 by saxman2x4

Paved blacktop. Other trails are nearby. Can get to Downtown Ann Aror from the Lohr trail.

Bay-Zil Rail Trail

Pleasantly Surprised!

October, 2022 by saila22

Travelled the southern section to the trail head near the big bridge. Beautiful scenery to include birds, squirrels, snakes, and the Saginaw River. Flat, smooth and quite nice Trail surface. Will definitely return to checkout the northern section of the trail.¿

ITC Corridor Trail (Novi)

Enjoyable Ride

October, 2022 by 829nz7xcv2

Recently rode this path for the first time. We enjoyed a nice quiet ride. Not much traffic noise and only had a few pedestrians. The north end up takes you up to Beck Rd. and Grandriver. It appears there will be more paved pathway soon.

Lower Rouge River Recreation Trail

Couldn't enjoy

Couldn't enjoy

I-275 Metro Trail

Love the trail but the trail is absolutely beat up. It's in pretty bad shape. I rode 6 miles of broken asphalt and bumps that could've ended up in disaster. Please fix!!!

Macomb Orchard Trail

Awesome trail

October, 2022 by tim.patz

This is one fantastic trail, at least the part I was on, at this time of year (October).
I started at the Romeo Trailside park and headed left (North?)

The bridge going over the highway at the beginning has an incline up and down. Other than that, flat and level.
The trail is paved, marked every half mile and meanders through wooded and open areas.
A couple bridges over a few creeks is something I always enjoy.

It seems to be a safe trail, in a good area and there was a lot of bikers and several walkers as well.

The only negative is 3 cross-overs of rather busy roads. One of them had a good bit of cars that I had to wait for a couple minutes before I could get across. But don't let that deter you from enjoying this trai.

So as always, if in the area and want to get a couple miles in, head here.
You should your run, walk, bike.
