Great trail. Paved, off-road the entire way around Spring Lake. Lots of shade, fun sized hills, pretty well marked. Thoroughly enjoyable, especially if you detour off the path a block and go to Miss Lisa's for ice cream--it's on 3rd near the Ferryville park.
Actually started at the Irwin trailhead of the Pioneer trail a couple miles east of Marne. Nice downhill grade with curves. Watch your speed. Round trip to Ravena was 32 miles. Mostly shaded with some canopies. Pavement was largely smoothe but beware the horse manure. A pretty nice ride, smoother than White Pines.
This is my favorite stretch of the trail. My wife and I like stopping in Ravenna for some refreshment or a bite to eat at one of the local dining establishments.
First time here on 7-29-17 and we rode it for 9 miles out of Clare. The trail was really well maintained and excellent for people with joint issues as it is mostly flat with gentle sloping grades at times. Will be back to ride more.
This is nothing more than a wide asphalt sidewalk next to busy noisy highway. Loud motorcycles, trucks, driveways many street crossings. You name it. Houses and front yards, etc. I went about halfway from GH to Holland and just turned back. Don't do with smaller children! This is not "Ottawa county's showpiece".
I started at a cute park where there was absolutely no signage and followed a trail for almost a mile until it ended at a sidewalk. I asked a neighbor if this was the trail and she said yes. I wound my way through a small town bumping over driveways until I decided to turn back. It's hilly, unmarked and bumpy.
Trail starts at the Cannon Two. office on M44 at Myers Lake Rd. A non-semi ride along M44 for 1/2 mile gets you to a neighborhood where you enter the real trail. From here a pleasant walk or ride through a quiet wooded area of the township. Hilly at times, some steep. Easy to hit 20+ mph on your bike with little effort. Trail takes you to Townsend Park and eventually to the quaint village of Cannonsburg. Avoid the ride along M44 by starting at this end and going north. Can be busy at times but not exceedingly. One of our favorite close-by bike ride and walking trails.
One of my favorites to ride. Pavement is in great shape, save for a few spots where tree roots have caused cracking. I usually ride from Muskegon to Ravenna (12-ish miles), stop for a break, then continue to Conklin.
The trail is pretty gentle, making it ideal for families, newbies, and people like me who love to rack up fast, high mileage! Very peaceful trail. The bridge over the stream in Ravenna is cool. Intersections are rarely busy.
There are not a lot of amenities, but why would you not pack water, CLIF bars, etc? On a related note, a home near Muskegon keeps a Gatorade machine fully stocked trail-side, and when you are coming back, it is no joke! $2 for a cold Gatorade, and it's amazing. Bathrooms are infrequent, so plan for that.
If I ranked trails I ride, this is an easy top 3.
My first experience on this trail, and I found it to be a gem! There's an incline most of the way from Farwell to Lake Station, but that made for an easy return trip! The trail goes through a heavily wooded area with notable wetlands and then pretty lakes. My husband and I were out fairly early in the morning and enjoyed seeing a lot of wildlife! I told him, "This could be my new favorite trail!"
There are no mile markers, but there were plenty of benches along the way and LOTS of natural beauty. In Farwell and Lake Station, there are some small businesses close to the trail too. We had a very nice ride and will definitely come back.
We rode from Rockford to Cadillac this past weekend. Beautiful weather and it's great on the paved portions but the unpaved is brutal. Would never do it again without the whole trail being paved.
The trial is getting bumpy and torn up from tree roots lots of litter the cemetery portion is not a good place to be at night lot of young hoodlums! Nice people all day long!
