The longest single connected trail I've ridden in Michigan so far. If you ride it all the way from Jackson to Brighton it's about 40 miles, but there's plenty of places to stop by in-between that show up about every 6 miles. Gregory is about halfway through and offers some good food options for anyone looking to make the full trek.
The trail from Hamburg MI going into Brighton is completely paved and beautiful. Everything from Hamburg going into Jackson is unpaved crushed limestone, and while there's beautiful wildlife around every corner the path can wear you out do the crushed limestone path. Still gives you a beautiful look at different Michigan biomes along the way and is in the middle of nature and away from the busy cityscape for most of the ride.
I live in Lake Orion and ride this trail often. It is well maintained and very scenic.It does get a little crowded on the weekend. La pumas is a get stop to power for the ride back to Lake Orion.
Very scenic paved trail. Well maintained
Well-maintained, quiet, smooth ride. Scenery of birds, bunnies, deer, marshes, grasses, wildflowers. Stopped to hear bullfrogs. Meanders along power line towers. Bring picnic for ITC park or Maybury.
I live near this trail and ride it often. Although it's purpose of connecting the Paint Creek trail and Polly Ann is awesome. It also has some cool wood railed bridges that are funny to ride or walk. Extend your ride and travel the connect trail.

Went here with the family. A few small challenging grades. There are some pretty views of the lake and a lot of shade. We saw deer, sandhill cranes, rabbits, swans, wild turkeys and a pilliated woodpecker.
Started in Jackson and went west to Concord (against the wind). In Concord continue west on the street when trail terminates. Ate lunch in Concord Tavern downtown which is to your left as you dead-end into Main Street... fantastic pizza.
Then rode back to Jackson (with the wind). Saw deer, birds, and lots of little critters. Very enjoyable outing of 22 miles round-trip.
This is a beautiful trail. I guess my only complaint would be that it’s a little bit boring. if you go from Romeo to Richmond, it’s pretty much wide-open with very few crossings and not many people. Many great places to stop along the way, including apple orchards, restaurants, rest areas, etc. One of my favorite trails!
I just rode this on June 18, 2024 and there were a lot of tree limbs and growing over the trail. The trail was covered in a lot of debris. Looks like it was once a beautiful trail, but not looking so good these days. Lots of curves on this trail, which makes it more interesting than the other trails in the area.
