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.
This is a fairly good trail, as long as you don't mind a mostly marsh/swamp style of scenery, with power lines also dominating. It's an enjoyable ride despite that, with a good round trip, and smooth pavement, so I would defiantly recommend if you're looking for a good trail.
Although there's nothing really to see here, this mostly shaded trail has a good round trip distance with some river crossings to break up the scenery, though I might skip this one.
I feel this trail is a bit of a mixed bag, as it has an excellent round trip and is completely open to the sun, but the pavement is very rough and badly needs an upgrade (which seems to have started around 2025) throughout most of the trail.
With that said, I would cautiously recommend this trail if you're wiling to try it.
With nonstop noise from vehicle traffic a constant and nothing to see/do I might consider skipping if you're from out of town.
A good, quick trial that's' mostly sunny, good smooth pavement, but nothing to see except some sports fields.
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.
This trail has a nice variety of scenery, as it takes you through playgrounds, urban, swampland and long stretches. It's mostly sunny with a bit shade thrown in.
It's got a mix of sun and shade, a good round trip, this is definitely worth a visit.
It's completely open to the sun & wind, but with such a short distance and nothing to see, make to travel the Genesse Valley trail as well.
