East side of the trail is pretty rough for a road bike, the west side has been updated and much more pleasant of an experience. The side walk section through Pontiac urban area need to be leveled and straight up dangerous for bike tires.
I love this bike path. I suggest avoiding weekend afternoons because the path gets very busy. Weekday mornings are fabulous!
Does anyone maintain the 275 Metro Trial. It is like riding in a dump with loose stone debris and twigs all over. It is early June and I have already had two flat tires and destroyed 2 tires do to cuts and slices resulting from the debris.
Nice scenic ride, lots of tree coverage. Highly recommended!
This trail was a great walk! Beautiful scenery as you walk along the water. Restroom near the end of the trail.
Well kept smooth asphalt rail trail connecting three rural towns. Restaurants at either end, parking and porta potties .. and not at all crowded! Now if it could just be close to home… magnificent trail.
Started in Wixom riding East on Airline Trail (all asphalt) and continued on to West Bloomfield Trail. Packed gravel wasn't draining water well from overnight rain in several areas and gravel near St Marys school was very washboard. Hopefully they will grade trail before heavy summer riding starts. All in all it was a lovely ride. Saw deer, swans, and turkey along the ride.
This trail is horrible. Even on a mountain bike you’ll be jostled about the whole way. Friends of mine have lost bike lights from hitting the bumps. It’s unclear to me who maintains this trail but they should be ashamed of themselves. One bad lawsuit from a 80-year old lady who breaks a hip and maybe they’ll finally redo the whole thing.
The trail is in very poor condition. Many bumps and large cracks in the pavement.
A varry nice walk and lots of geochachs to discover. Bring bug spray and water, small day pack would be ideal.
With slight hills and variations of terrain this trail is interesting through Hickory Glen and runs along the roads at the on either end. It has enough to make loops so that you don’t feel like you just turn around and go back (as the trail map shows). Great for everyday trail use.
