This is a pretty bad trail, with pavement being cracked and rutted all throughout, with some cracks being bad enough to launch me out of my seat.
There's nothing even to see except some playgrounds, as the trail is largely urban.
A nice, quick, slightly hilly jaunt through the woods. Wouldn't recommend cycling through here, only walking.
Mostly gravel with amazing views.. one of our favorite spots to ride..
A very nice trail that's nice and open all through with a good round trip.
Nothing really to see here except a few schools and some woods.
Nice round trip though.
Kinda unimpressive and some very rough pavement.
With nothing to see and noise from a constant, I just wouldn't bother.
After living in Northern & West Michigan for 15 years, this trail is good but not excellent. If you have ever had the chance to cycle on the White Pine Trail, Leelanau Trail, or others that are more northern/rural, the MOT will suffice for a semi-rural feel. From Romeo to Richmond, you will cycle past farms, small woods, creeks, and the North Branch Clinton River. I ran my bird app and came across some rare birds for the end of April. Migration is done done for spring so I am sure there would be some awesome birds to listen to and observe. I don't think this is trail for a 50+ mile ride. I would say out and back 25-30 miles maximum. I didn't cycle in the suburban sprawl portion. The surface is relatively good and there are a few potholes. The road crossings are typical for the population and as you get more rural, the traffic is less but still be very cautious. People drive so fast in southern Michigan even in semi-rural areas. Overall, great ride, but I would prefer to do longer rides of 30-70 miles in a truly rural setting where my cadence isn't broken by so many road crossings and bad drivers. Try it to see for yourself! Enjoy the ride!
Nothing to see or do here except a playground and crop fields
Nice smooth pathway and an easy ride between Gibraltar and Elizabeth Park. There's also a short offshoot into the Detroit International Wildlife Refuge, which I'd highly recommend checking out!
