While in Bowling Green for an event, my wife and I rode 14 miles on this nice smooth trail. We initially planed on starting at the Montessori school, but despite it being Good Friday, school was in session and parking there was prohibited. We then drove the short distance to The Black Swamp Preserve trailhead and were rewarded with clean, modern bathrooms and a short connecting trail lined with tree swallows and bluebirds perched on their houses.
We rode south 7 miles into a strong headwind but mostly sheltered somewhat by the trees and bushes along the trail. At 7 miles the trail opened up for the foreseeable distance and this old guy decided we would turn back. The ride north was a "breeze". :-)
I would not call this the most scenic trail, but it is very well maintained with good facilities every few miles.
If you are looking for a relaxing enjoyable ride, you will not be disappointed
Pretty scenery next to a lot of bodies of water and the river. There was a couple spots where it was iffy on where you were supposed to go and one that was caution taped off, but it was enjoyable. Choose how far you want to take it because I went the whole way and the only way to get back was to ride. Lol
Nothing to see here but a river and a tree farm. Trail is very rough and uneven.
Nice smooth pathway and an easy ride between Gibraltar and Elizabeth Park. There's also a short offshoot into the Detroit International Wildlife Refuge, which I'd highly recommend checking out!
Perfectly smooth trail through some pleasant natural and residential areas. The loop at Huroc Park is a nice, shady stroll along the Huron River as well. Great ride!
Plenty of tree cover and lots of deer sightings in the section along I-75, and the stretch through town in Flat Rock is a relaxing stroll. Only real complaint is that it's fairly bumpy in some spots, and it can be a tad confusing navigating the sidewalks to get between the old high school and Huroc Park in Flat Rock if you're not familiar with the area.
I use this frequently on my daily workouts, and it's in pretty good condition, and plenty wide.
A well-maintained trail that's great for a casual stroll through Rockwood and Mercure Park. The northern section along Woodruff Road also serves as part of the connector between Lake Erie Metropark and Flat Rock/Oakwoods Metropark.
Great trail with nice river scenery, easy access to Metropark amenities and picnic spots along the way. It also connects at the south end to Huroc Park and eventually Lake Erie, and to the I-275 Metro Trail between Willow and Lower Huron Metroparks. Great ride for anyone of any age!
This is nice trail to do on foot (any other mode and it's over in a jiff lol) that is always curvy and smooth.
Massasauga rattlesnakes are known to be in this area, so please be aware.
KT is an fun nature trail that has some issues that keep it from being perfect. The first is road crossings, which are quite frequent. Another is that the trial is somewhat bumpy, with said bumps being invisible until ride over them with your bike.
Still, the trail is a pretty good length, and keeps you away from urban noises and distractions for the most part, as it keeps you in a nature setting for the whole trip.
I would definitely recommend this trail to anyone considering it.
