Excellent trail. Great condition (8/22). Lots of shade. Highly recommend it.
I love this trail so much. I’ve been jogging and biking Lower Huron Metro Park most of my teens and twenties. It’s a great big park and the paths are varied with trips through fields and meadows, through wooded “tunnels”, it travels along the river, and has plenty of hills to vary the terrain. These trails are quiet, secluded, and a ton of fun. This was the first place I took my first “real” bike on and I’ve been regularly coming back since. It easily beats other trails around me. 3 Metro Parks are connected directly by this trail and the fourth (Lake Eerie Metro) is connected via a long connecting trail I haven’t done yet but am excited to do one day. All 4 parks have plenty of bathrooms, water fountains, map stations, and awesome bike racks for pumping up your tires or doing repairs with all the necessary tools included. The paths are all smooth and very well maintained from branches, leaves, and other debris. For as popular and well maintained these parks are, the bike paths are never crowded which is awesome. Whoever thought out the trails, details, and accessories did an awesome job. The bike repair stations are an amazing touch to these great trails. I’ve tried other trails like Hines Drive but found the section I did to be loud from traffic (you’re right next to the road the whole time) and boring (no varied terrain or paths through nature). It’s hard to go anywhere else other than this Metro Park trail because it’s easily the best trail around. The others pale in comparison.
Had a great time. Some shade riding. They have a portable potty. Nice place to park.
Enjoyable bike ride liked how the residents decorate trail. Peaceful by the river with a lot of wild life
Does anyone maintain the 275 Metro Trial. It is like riding in a dump with loose stone debris and twigs all over. It is early June and I have already had two flat tires and destroyed 2 tires do to cuts and slices resulting from the debris.
Well groomed gravel. Very smooth. Well maintained. Deer. Birds. Chipmunks. Start at Waterville. Stay in Grand Rapids. Grab lunch at Knucklehead’s. Lots of tree cover. No road crossings. Lightly used. It’s our new NWO favorite trail. N.B. - Not for skinny tire bikes.
This trail is being built a section at a time. We rode from Hudson Mills to Zeeb road where the next trail section is not complete. About a 20 mile round trip.
Started early morning and found the section from Hudson Mills to Dexter very quiet and peaceful. The trail meanders through woods and meadows with some rolling hills.
Had the rare sighting of a coyote that popped out onto the trail ahead of us.
As you enter Dexter under a historic rail bridge, the connector route to the continuation of the path is not well marked. Head east on Main Street then turn left and head north on Central Street, the trail starts again just over the railroad tracks that you went under heading into town.
The next leg through Dexter-Huron Metropark crosses the river 3 times.
Passing through the center of Dexter made for a good opportunity to stop from lunch.
We look forward to the future expansion of the system connecting the borders of Washtenaw County.
We started biking at bowman park which is the beginning of the trail. We crossed Tremaimsville Rd., Sylvania ave, Berdan, Central avenue and Monroe street. It looks like they are going to be putting a pedestrian crossing lights on these roads which will be nice. We continued on the path past Monroe Street instead of following the chessie trail. The bike path continued on straight …. we were Parallel to Douglas Road. We crossed over Kenwood St which Ottawa park is there once you cross. I think that was about 3 1/2 miles. We continued on the path that took us into the University of Toledo campus. We rode through there and connected onto the Toledo university baked trail. That trail is over 6 miles long so you can go as far as you’d like. We went up to Richards Road and turned around and came back and our total trip was 11 miles. But you could make it any distance you would like :-) path just outside the park up until Bancroft. We crossed Douglas Road and follow the path into the Toledo University. We rode through the campus until we got to the UT trail
A varry nice walk and lots of geochachs to discover. Bring bug spray and water, small day pack would be ideal.
