Since repaving and connection with the Michigan Airline Trail, this trail has gone from one of the worst to one of the best trails around.
Excellent trail. Great condition (8/22). Lots of shade. Highly recommend it.
I road the trail to the Hawkins Road trail head last week. It looks like there is great progress extending the trail further toward Jackson. That new section of the trail appears complete as far as the eye can see, but it is not yet open.
Most of this trail is a part of park.It is comfortable for daily walk and ride.
Seriously for inline skating it doesn’t get smoother than the Airline trail! Wow. Love the mellow grade changes. Parked at On the Dune sports bar parking lot. Went all the way to Old Plank road and back. Only negative thing I can think to say about this trail is the gap that was under construction (as of 7/27/22) but looks to be finished in the 2 weeks? So fast and smooth for inlines!!
It’s a great two mile stretch. Just enough for my 8 year old to enjoy. The murals are awesome. We stay on a mission to find wonderful street art.
Exciting New Trail Updates not yet showing on the Trail Map App as of this review (7-22). MM #38 The New Paint Creek Junction Park is now open has Restrooms, Water and Parking. Nearby is the recently completed ‘The Connector’ a nicely paved walk/bike trail alongside Clarkston Rd to the Polly Ann Trail. At the Kern / Clarkston Road crossing Follow The Connector Trail Signs westward for approximately 3.6 miles to the point where the Polly Ann Trail crosses Clarkston Rd.
Started at Lighthouse Park. Trail was not well marked and would have had a very hard time without my downloaded map for directions. Very pretty ride along river and great art displays once we crossed the Black River and got on the Port Huron Bridge to Bay Trail. It was beautiful.
This trail encircles a popular lake and is very scenic. It also connects to the Island Lake Pathway as well as the Milford Trail seamlessly so you can easily get extra miles into your ride. Most of all three trails have fun slow rolling hills which make the ride more interesting.
Note there is a posted but seemingly impractical and unenforced 10 MPH speed limit. At times the need is obvious when a popular (crowded) trail has a number of curves (semi-blind at times) with the potential for downhill speed gain. Especially when the scenery is notable. Practical answer is use good sense when in those spots and be aware.
This is also located in a park area that seems to require a seasonal recreation pass or a $10 day fee. Between the three trails there are a number of places to park and get on the trail and avoid the fee. (Especially near Milford) I did not try to park in one of the lots inside the toll area to find out if there is any exemption for those only biking and not doing any of the many water activities offered.
A fun ride and highly recommended.
East side of the trail is pretty rough for a road bike, the west side has been updated and much more pleasant of an experience. The side walk section through Pontiac urban area need to be leveled and straight up dangerous for bike tires.
