Definitely worth doing. There are frequent road crossings and it is very straight. More trail diversity would be better. Cute towns along the way.
I'd only use it to jump onto Genesee Valley Trail myself, otherwise I'd recommend skipping it.
m47 will be your companion along this trail, so bring headphones.
I feel like this could have been a nice trail if it had been in a wooded area but the traffic ruins it for me.
It's bumpy and cracked all throughout, so it might be a little rough on your bum if you do the whole trail.
It's a nice and open trail that links with a much longer trail at the end, though it's a little bumpy and sidewalk riding may be required.
There's some gorgeous scenery with a great round trip and a smooth ride.
We parked at the former train station, looks to be kept up and refurbished, located on 2nd Street in Vestaburg. Biked to Alma for lunch and back. 13 miles one way. This part of the trail is in very good condition, well maintained and even a section recently sealcoated. Downhill glide from Vestaburg to Alma for steady gradual uphill climb back to Vestaburg. Trail passes through a few small old railroad towns. We also found this section to be very heavily wooded offering plenty of shade. Passes by open farmlands as well. We would definitely put this on our ride again list!
Very nice ride in beginning trail is bumpy needs repair up by s.v.s.u the loop is not marked at all couldn't fine the hole loop all nice ride ¿
We parked at the Frank N. Anderson Nature Center parking lot on State Park Road. Took the rail trail into Bay City State Park. There are plenty of places to bike ride in Bay City State Park, which offers beautiful views of Saginaw Bay. Within the park are several nature trails that are paved and bicycles are permitted. We stopped at the visitor center for trails maps. The best trail within the State Park was the Tobico Marsh trails which was on an old rail bed. There was a spur off of it which was gravel but took us up to an observation tower. Plenty of parking areas and nature trails. A lot of pretty scenery.
Accessed the trail in Midland at the Tridge. Trail runs 30 miles in length, nicely paved, from Midland to Clare through several old railroad towns. Quite a few trailheads and parking lots along the way. We biked the trail, each end, over 2 different rides. There is practically zero shade. The trail is very wide, with several feet of grass on each side, then maybe a few trees between the trail and Saginaw Road. Basically the trail follows Saginaw Road which is very noisy. Though a nice ride, it's not peaceful due to road traffic. The trail goes through several nature areas and passed a few parks. There are places to eat in the small towns along the trail. Each mile is marked. The Tridge was a sight to see in Midland. This trail connects with the Chippewa Trail at the Tridge in Midland.
Nice addition to the Pere Marquette Trail in Midland. Access the trail via the Tridge. This trail meanders through wetlands and beautiful scenery. The Chippewa Nature Center is at the opposite end and offers free admission. Trail surface well maintained.
