Buck Creek Trail (MI)

Good Trail

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

BCT is a great experience for anyone looking for a worthwhile trail.

Buck Creek river runs alongside most of the trail, providing a comforting susurrus.

Nature is in abundance throughout the entire trail, with some urban popping up here and there. Bird poop is everywhere in the Wedgwood Park section, so check shoes/bike tires.

Pavement is mostly smooth, with the exception of Wedgwood Park, where it can be a little bumpy.

I would recommend this trail to anyone looking.

Interurban Trail (Kent County)

Pretty Iffy

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

The first section is very rough with potholes and bumps everywhere, the path itself is very narrow with no scenery to speak of.

The second section is a vast improvement of the first, as the path is wider and free from cracks and holes but with nothing to see except power lines, and road crossings are very common in this part.

I might consider skipping this one.

East West Trail

A Good One

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

EWT is a good round trip experience for any locals and visitors looking for a good trail.

It's not very scenic, with power lines, water streams and community gardens making up most of the landscape.

Busy road crossings are somewhat common.

It's not too hilly, and the pavement is in very good shape.

Cannon Township Trail

Very Hilly

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

I found this trail to be a bit of a mixed bag, as it's *very* hilly and was hard to complete but the entire trail is shaded all throughout, and you can cruise downhill for parts of it.

Scenery is beautiful, as you are taken through wooded areas, marshes and neighborhoods.

Pavement is mostly smooth but with some rough bumps here and there.

Fred Thwaites Grand River Trail

Good

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

An enjoyable yet short trip.

The Grand River is common sight throughout the trail and and plant is lush and abundant and otherwise there isn't anything to see here but I would recommend it.

Granger Meadows Park Trail

Nice

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

GMPT is a enjoyable but short trail that's full of tight twists and turns to the point riding a bike might be a bit iffy.

You might want to walk this one but I do recommend it.

Kalamazoo River Valley Trail

I like the parts which are not a narrow bike lane on Ravine Rd

May, 2025 by michigantrikker_tl

The parts of the trail not on Ravine Rd seem great. Sure, the downtown route is a bit tricky but they have center lines to mark the bike path now along arcadia creek and the festival site, etc. My real complaint is they were not able to find a solution for nearly a couple of miles along Ravine Rd, other than a small segment on the property of Kalamazoo Public School Transportation, where someone on inline skates or a small bike could enjoy a small break from a narrow bike lane. Is that what they hoped they would be able to do all along that side, but only the Kalamazoo owned public transportation would agree to it, and the rest, you have to use a fairly narrow bike lane. The exception is that the last quarter mile or so, on the south side of Ravine before Douglas Ave, there is a really nice bike lane, with extra shoulder on the right of it. Why couldn't that have been extended further up? I have even used that against traffic when coming back before crossing over to the right side of the rd, because it is such a wider area than the bike lane on the north side of Ravine at that point. After all this time, it would have been nice if they found some options to improve that segment. The rest of it, I really like though!

Fred Meijer M-6 Trail

Close to home

May, 2025 by martitimmer

Love that this trail is close to home for me. It’s a little bumpy in places but my husband and I really enjoy it.

Battle Creek Linear Park

No signs, no maps, no restrooms, no water

May, 2025 by rjdurkee

We rode from Bailey Park west on the Linear trail to the end. While the surface was pretty good, the fact that there are several busy road crossings, no signs or maps, no water or restrooms, made this trail undesirable. What a shame that the city of Battle Creek doesn't spend a few bucks to make this trail top-notch.

Kalamazoo River Valley Trail

Few rivers, fewer valleys

April, 2025 by rjdurkee

I don't know why it's called the River Valley trail since most of it goes right next to the highway, with only occasional views of a river and no valley to be seen. We rode 20 miles starting in Galesburg. The first couple of miles were scenic, through a wooded area but the next 10 miles were along the highway - BORING AND UGLY. When we got to Kalamazoo, we found several detours because of unsafe bridges. That forced us to cross busy highways. While the trail surface was mostly good, the location of the trail was terrible.

Sycamore Trail

Iffy

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This trail is one of those half-urban, half-nature trails. It's a bit difficult to stay on the urban parts, as trail markings are a bit rare, with the trail really hitting its stride in the nature segments.

Northern Tier Trail

Smooth pathway, a bit lacking in scenery

March, 2025 by ryanplewis05_tl

It's a nice easy ride and a great route for students commuting to and from campus. However, it's kind of squeezed between apartment complexes and residential areas in spots, which kind of cuts into the scenery a bit.
