The section of trail from Ravenna to the west in rough shape and needs resurfacing like the Ottawa section is currently getting. Large cracks that make a ride not very enjoyable
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.
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.
So the trail is smoother for the Saranac To Ionia portion than it is from Saranac to Lowell. Both are mostly gravel, but the gravel is better heading East from Saranac than west. I recommend parking at the Saranac boat launch and heading East to Ionia.
Not much to see on this circle trail. At the time of this review the offshoot to Oxford is closed and under construction. Part of the trail is a glorified sidewalk.
If you're looking for a nature trail, this isn't it.
You'll only see endless cornfields until you get to Spring Grove Park, where neighborhoods take over.
This is also a pretty hilly all throughout, with some road biking required if you're doing the full trail.
You'll be taken through urban and nature on this trail, with some road biking required.
Rode from belding to Greenville. Really nice and scenic ride. About 7 miles one way.
We have now rode nearly every section of the trail several times and highly recommend it. My favorite parts are from Ashton to Cadillac and from Cedar Rapids to Grand Rapids.
This is an excellent trail, great signage, benches, picnic tables, bathrooms, food stops along the way and beautiful views. The tree identifications are wonderful. Highly recommend. The trail is in excellent condition.
