Wadhams to Avoca Trail

Great Trail

October, 2025 by lee2980

We ride this trail on a beautiful fall day. It is very smooth and suitable for most any bike. I was comfortable on my ride bike and the wife was fine with her hybrid. Trail is heavily shaded in most place. Scenery is mostly wooded, with some wetlands and meadows mixed in. I would recommend this ride !

Polly Ann Trail

From Dryden South

September, 2025 by normkern

The map and all the text on the website indicate that the trail in Lapeer county is 20 miles long. I am told that all 20 miles is mowed regularly and evidently all the bridges and tunnels are in place. It all may be suitable for horseback riding or hiking or cross country skiing, but only the 4.5 miles south of Dryden has any sort of trail that cyclists would opt to ride. That segment is prepared gravel and well worn single track, intermixed. The web site needs to expressly note that is is the only segment cyclists would enjoy. The Oakland county segment is wonderful.

Black Creek Nature Trail

Decent

This is a quick but nice trail.

Macomb Orchard Trail

Needs maintenance

August, 2025 by mwskibike

This used to be my favorite trail to ride. I still ride it often as I live nearby. HOWEVER...this trail is in need of maintenance. I mostly ride Richmond to Romeo. Trees need trimming - they are overhanging from the sides and from overhead (have to duck under). There are a couple holes in the trail - the ground under the paved trail has given way and the black top has fallen in the whole - broken leg for a runner who doesn't see the hole. There are a couple spots where the embankment is giving way and the edges of the trail are collapsing. Either bridges have risen or trail has sunk - there are some rough transitions. Several of the split rail fences that are bridge approaches have collapsed.

Stony Creek Metropark Trail

Good Workout

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This mostly sunny trail offers pleasant scenery while running along side vehicle traffic, so bring some noise cancelling ear buds. It's also a little hilly and the pavement can be kinda rough in certain places, but otherwise this is a pretty good trail

Paint Creek to Polly Ann Trail Connector

So-so

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's an okay urban trail with some brief nature moments but otherwise there isn't too much to this trail

Macomb Orchard Trail

Rode this today, lots of farmland. Beautiful scenery, saw a deer cross the trail. Could use a few restrooms, but overall a great ride.

Southern Links Trailway

Almost perfect

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This trail would have been a 10 out of 10 were it not for the frequent road crossings, as that really kept me from building some good speed, but otherwise, this is a very good trail that I look forward to coming back to in the future.

Trolley Line Trail (MI)

Nice

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This nice and open trail is a pleasant but quick experience for locals wanting a fast ride.

Harger Line Rail-Trail

TRAIL TEMPORARILY CLOSED

July, 2025 by yoopersteve89

The trail is closed in sections through the end of November. It is being resurfaced, bridges are being replaced, and mile markers are being added. They just got done cutting down A LOT of trees so it’s a mess out there and it looks terrible…

Polly Ann Trail

Mud north of Dryden

July, 2025 by mb7n6nbz8c

This path is easy to ride with a gravel or hybrid bike south of Dryden.

North of Dryden, it turns into lawn over patches of mud. I saw people riding there, but they needed fat tires. You could hike or ride a horse, though. Be prepared for mosquitoes and biting flies.

Polly Ann Trail

After Dryden

June, 2025 by mrsscott8105

The Part of this trail that is maintained by Oakland county is beautiful they are always working on the trail making it better, we start at the beginning off Joslyn and ride to Dryden , after that you can see a sign saying Polly Ann Trail but it's just land next to a building then nothing it's a part of the trail but it's just over grown grass and the path isn't like there, Trail Link and all maps show it goes to Imlay city but after Dryden the trail is never Maintained they really need to make the trail useable or drop that part off the trail map.
