The trail is flat and smooth, with no cracks or bumps that I remember. It’s rarely straight, being full of twists and turns.
It is *very* hilly especially near the YMCA parking lot so be ready to shift gears in a jiff.
Boardwalks and small lakes help break up the scenery a bit, and road crossings are rare.
This trail hosts mountain bike trails within its boundaries that intersect with this trail, so use cation and keep your eyes peeled.
It’s a good 8+ mile journey that I would recommend traveling to visit.
This is a short 6-mile round trip jaunt. The trail is smooth and flat throughout, composed of gravel.
While it’s not hilly (it’s a flat trail) the elevation was enough for me to drop from 7 speed to 5 speed for the duration and it went fine after that.
There isn’t much to see here except endless power line towers (similar to the ITC Corridor in Novi) which stretch the entire trail.
All in all I do think this is a good trail and look forward to returning one day.
There isn’t too much to this trail, being a round trip of 3 miles. It is nice and smooth for the most part.
You’ll spend most of your time in an urban setting except for a brief stint in a wooded section that ends far quickly for my taste.
It’s fine for locals, but I wouldn’t bother traveling to this one.
The trail is made up of three segments of roughly (?) equal length.
There are no benches, trashcans, or water fountains on this trail, so be plan accordingly.
Signage gives warning about the possibility of ticks on this train, so maybe stick to the main path, ignore any offshoots, and don’t brush against any plants.
I found the trail to very enjoyable from start to finish, with my only two complaints being: it’s rather short, being maybe six miles roundtrip, and the other being that the surface is dirt and stone, so unless you have a gravel, dirt, or fat tire bike, you might want consider walking this one.
Road crossings are rare.
I would recommend the trail to anybody looking to avoid an urban trail and connect with nature.
The trail is perfectly smooth, with no bumps or pothole that I recall and runs mostly straight throughout. It starts off completely nature oriented with a switch between nature and urban fairly quickly, so if you're looking for a fully nature experience, you might want to try the West Bloom field trail that's just a few miles down the road. The trail is also rather short, clocking in at around 12 miles (round trip).
With that said, this is a very good that I very much enjoyed and look forward to completing again.
Individuals looking for a good trail should definitely consider this one.
The trail is mostly smooth (barring the odd bump) but can be somewhat hilly, so get ready to possibly shift gears. Both roads that comprise the trail are highly trafficked, maybe bring some earplugs?
The trail is smooth and mostly flat, with a round trip of about 3 miles. Be cautious as you travel, as the trail intersects with several neighborhood entrances/exits.
The trail is pretty smooth (barring the odd bump) and slightly hilly on occasion, but since there isn't anything to see here, use it only as link between M-5 & I-275.
A nice slow roll with grades which are easy. Nice views of some $$$ houses! Well protected from wind much of the way. Didn’t get to Haggerty Rd from Keego, but that’s another day!
Flat trail with beautiful scenery. Fall colors just turning. Will definitely ride it again.
Nice ride - part way - from Haggerty to Wixom Rd and return. Planning on riding the whole length soon
