Border-to-Border Trail

Very Dirty and lacked markings

September, 2026 by parkersmom6

I expected a lot more. The trails were not marked on how to connect to the other segments. The trail path was a rough ride in multiple areas. A couple of the trails were people’s residence. The trail was not cleaned and had a lot of trash.

Martin Luther King Equality Trail

The MLK trail has been redone and is a great place to start off of West Ave. if you want to extend the Falling Waters Trail. So nice now. Makes trails about 15 miles one way. Such a peaceful scenic ride.

Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park

Three of us rode this trail in 4 out and back rides. There are several waypoints along the way where I met my companions over several rides. Very smooth and easy riding since it's a rail trail and is well maintained by Pinckney Recreation area.

Fred Meijer Flat River Trail

great trail!!!!

August, 2026 by mori.p.wilson

This trail is beautiful. If we do it again, I think we would start at Baldwin Park and ride over to Tower Park. There’s a lot of sun on the west side of the trail. It’s also great that it connects to the Heartland trail so you can take that to Flat River Brewing. They have great beer, flat bread pizzas and meatloaf sandwiches.

Fred Meijer Flat River Valley Rail Trail

THIS TRAIL IS 99% GRAVEL

July, 2026 by liamvara1

Don’t be fooled by the photos of the path, IT IS PRETTY MUCH ALL GRAVEL. I went with a friend on this trail expecting maybe a small gravel segment and mostly paved, however it was definitely not. It’s a pretty trail, but not what was advertised. If you’re into gravel riding, you’d love it, but it’s intense. Pretty good scenery, but should be advertised as gravel.

Kettering Gateway Trail

Connector Trail

I'd only use it to jump onto Genesee Valley Trail myself, otherwise I'd recommend skipping it.

pickney trailhead

June, 2026 by koerber.anamami

Parked in pickney. Turn left vs right. Stopped so much going right. Left had a few crossroads woth major traffic then it went to a park, but also gravel. Still was nice. Just prefer trails that aren’t stop and go. Decent shade coverage.

Border-to-Border Trail

The part that's open is nice but it is closed from Dexter to Dexter-Huron Metropark.

Fred Meijer Flat River Trail

Thankfully you are able to track your location through the app would definitely have gotten lost without the app a little Savior... a good majority of the trail was nice and smooth and definitely some narrow aspects but all in all what a fun trip

Good Trail

May, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

It's a pretty decent trail with a great round trip.

Battle Creek Linear Park

Pretty Rough

May, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

While it has an excellent round trip if you the whole trail (including backtracking), the pavement is in rough shape with very few portions being smooth, you're alongside traffic for long segments, and some of it set in urban settings, you might want to choose a different trail altogether.

The only drinking fountain that I came across is by a baseball field by Brooks St. & Garfield Ave.

Battle Creek Linear Park

bladder buster

April, 2026 by benttandem

The Battle Creek linear park was very disappointing. Many parts of the trail have wide cracks across the width every 10 feet. If you do not have a flat tire bike this is very jarring. There are also no water or restroom stops on the entire length. And no directional signage or mile markers. There are several areas that are quite hilly. The only reason we gave it a two star instead of a one was there were a couple miles along the river that were smooth and very pleasant.
