This trail is incredibly well maintained and could be ridden with a road bike however gravel tires are best.
Only one busy intersection at Lincoln Lake Road, most others are gravel roads with good sight lines making it safe to see approaching car traffic.
I sincerely hope this doesn't get paved as the gravel experience is unlike cement or asphalt AND it moves moisture away nicely...
Recently (late November 2020) the trail was swept and loose spots at several intersections were addressed making it literally the best gravel trail I've ridden yet..
There is now trailhead parking at the South Haven end of the trail. There is a parking lot on Aylworth Ave. between Kalamazoo St. and Monroe Blvd. The trail is also paved between that trailhead parking and Van Buren State Park.
The trail has been extended and now goes down 3 Mile road past Alpine to West River Drive and North to Lamoreaux Memorial Park. (Now connects to the White Pine Trail.)
I started off at the west end trail head near Muskegon and rode to the Fred Meyer park near Meijer's on Walker. The east end features some hilly terrain but was otherwise a pretty flat ride. If re-surfaced this would be a pretty nice trail
This is the nicest trail I have ridden. The surface is smooth. The terrain varies between woods and farmlands. There are many stops along the way with an added bonus of the "Creamery" right along the trail. It goes through communities where are you can stop at various restaurants , bars or stores. A must ride
BC trail north toward GR was good for us. Douglas Walker segment had nice rolling hills, but they were too much for my joints (RA)
I ride my bike from Lowell to Greenville - this is one of the nicest trails in MI! The gravel is a special composite for biking and walking. It is well maintained and scenic with mostly flat rides through forest and farmlands.
Started in S & rode toward A. Paved a bit around S. Great fall colors
Loved our ride. Very nice well kept trail. Began at 10th st trail head with the red caboose. have to say was a very pleasant Sunday morning ride, even as busy as it was. Between the Kalamazoo River Trail ride on Saturday and this one, well worth traveling from IN for
Did a few miles from South Haven trailhead. Beautiful time of year, path was dry and packed well. Great trail for all ages if riders.
We rode one way and stayed at the hotel at the end. Had breakfast and rode back to Trailhead in Whitehall. Be sure to stop at the Creamery for refreshment along the way. Can’t wait to go again next year.
