Angola Trail

We parked at Commons Park and there was no sign of the trail and no directions. Very poorly done.

Falling Waters Trail

excellent trail

October, 2026 by barbodonn

My husband and I biked this trail from Jackson to Concord today. It was a gorgeous fall day. The trail was beautiful with the falling leaves and smooth pavement. We loved the many sculptures as we headed out of Jackson. We live in Toledo and plan on coming back even though the trail was almost an hour and a half away. Well worth it!

Angola Trail

Road Trail Only

October, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

If you're looking for nature trail, this isn't the one you want, as you will spend all of your time near business parks and serious road traffic.

It has pretty decent hills near the final two miles past Meijer, and lots of sun

Lohr-Textile Greenway

Beautiful Paced and Clean!

September, 2026 by parkersmom6

This trail was beautiful especially for a fall ride. Everything is paved with a couple bumps far and few in between. There is plenty of areas you can veer off and explore. You can start near Platt Road and end in downtown Saline for lunch, a drink or take Maple Rd straight to the Dairy Queen for Ice cream! Everyone you come across is considerate nice and the entire trail is very safe!

Border-to-Border Trail

Very Dirty and lacked markings

September, 2026 by parkersmom6

I expected a lot more. The trails were not marked on how to connect to the other segments. The trail path was a rough ride in multiple areas. A couple of the trails were people’s residence. The trail was not cleaned and had a lot of trash.

Martin Luther King Equality Trail

The MLK trail has been redone and is a great place to start off of West Ave. if you want to extend the Falling Waters Trail. So nice now. Makes trails about 15 miles one way. Such a peaceful scenic ride.

Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park

Three of us rode this trail in 4 out and back rides. There are several waypoints along the way where I met my companions over several rides. Very smooth and easy riding since it's a rail trail and is well maintained by Pinckney Recreation area.

Michigan Air Line Trail

Walked it when it was still a railroad!

August, 2026 by trooperusmc93

I used to live right off of 14 Mile Road, West West Maple in Walled Lake back in the late 90's and used to walk the railroad when it was still a working railroad. My wife's niece and I road its Memorial Day weekend (May 2026) and it was a great rail-trail. Definity worth your time, that bridge is tough to get over.

Baw Beese Trail

terrible trail

August, 2026 by lcoleman4

This trail is so rough you have to put all your attention to controlling your bike and can’t look around. The part through the town of Hillsdale is on city streets and poorly marked. Don’t waste your time on this trail

Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park

pickney trailhead

June, 2026 by koerber.anamami

Parked in pickney. Turn left vs right. Stopped so much going right. Left had a few crossroads woth major traffic then it went to a park, but also gravel. Still was nice. Just prefer trails that aren’t stop and go. Decent shade coverage.

I-275 Metro Trail

Trail closure

June, 2026 by egrif

The trail is closed in the construction zone of M14. I found my way back onto the trail north after taking a couple sideroads from Hines and Northville roads. The trail from here is pretty crappy but serviceable until 8 Mile, where it has been redone. Smooth ride from 8 Mile north.

Border-to-Border Trail

The part that's open is nice but it is closed from Dexter to Dexter-Huron Metropark.
