Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park

I do not know why people are complaining about this trail. The trail from Stanwood south is brand new smooth as silk!!! It is beautiful the little town of Morey is cute with gas stations and a resturant.

Muskegon Lakeshore Trail

Beautiful ride

August, 2025 by broelfsema

Even on a hot day, leaving in the early afternoon, it was a beautiful ride lots of shade lots of Lake breeze and ice cream shops. Really pretty smooth and weld marked if you’re using your all trails app to follow.

White Pine Trail from Reed City (Depot) to Cadillac

August, 2025 by bschohl

Mostly excellent trail surface for a road bike - smooth, few bumps; slightly less smooth at the very start from depot in Reed City and then when entering Cadillac city (older paving surface). Plenty of shade, a few stretches out ‘in the open’, but mostly very pleasant. We had a great ride.

From Grand Rapids to Cadillac

August, 2025 by josephandrewcollins

Chicagoland biker here who has done many trails in the Midwest (Paul Bunyan in Minnesota, I&M/Hennipan across Illinois, etc). This is a good trail, maybe even a great one. I just completed the entire 92.6 mile route. Couple things-- the trail is AMAZING if you like shade. And for the most part, it's relatively smooth (surface is more coarse/bumpy from Big Rapids north to Reed City). For that reason, a hybrid tire or thicker is probably your best bet. Could be a challenge for road bike enthusiasts. That said, a road bike would be amazing from Cadillac to Reed City, then Big Rapids to Grand Rapids. Also...reminder that you gain elevation going south to north. A better ride, especially if you catch a good northern wind at your back, would be going Cadillac to Grand Rapids. Still, a great experience!

Big Rapids Riverwalk

Nice

An enjoyable but short trail with iffy pavement and okay scenery.

Pere Marquette State Trail

Clare to Farwell

July, 2025 by strachl

There is no longer a gap in the trail between Farwell and Clare so we decided to take a quick ride to check it out! We started at the Clare Depot at W 4th Street and Beech St. The path begins by weaving behind the railroad yard and several small industrial buildings and then follows the road for a mile or so before it becomes quiet and tree lined. It is only 5 miles to the park in downtown Farwell. The return trip to Clare went very quickly because heading east the grade is slightly downhill. We explored the Clare Depot when we got back. Great gift shop with very informative helpful staff!

Musketawa Trail

Trail Closed Until Further Notice

July, 2025 by pjbradfield

We tried to access the trail at the Marne trail head and parking lot. The parking lot was full of construction equipment and material and there is a sign that said the Trail is closed until further notice.

Laketon Trail

Nice

July, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This trail is a completely open to the sun, offering views of local businesses, but nothing truly jaw dropping, with a nice round trip. Noise from traffic is the only real downside.

Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park

not for road bikes

July, 2025 by ewjones

10/10 for getting back to nature. 1/10 for road surface. The roads in Michigan are horrible, so I'm not sure why I thought the paths would be better.

Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park

Nice paved flat

June, 2025 by richg55

Cadillac to Leroy nice, flat and pavement is very good. Very few bumps. About a mile south of Leroy it gets closer to highway in going to Reed City. Not bad but not as quiet and nature filled. Trail mostly shaded. Loved it.
