As I said a year ago, this trail needs maintenance. Trees and bushes need to be trimmed. Sinking pavement needs fixing. Trail is getting rough in spots - assume from under trail tree roots. I trimmed a bunch of overhanging branches (and got "Thank You" from about 6 people), but no way can I trim all the branches from the whole trail.
I rode this trail on July 11, 2026. Note: Beginning of trail is closed. Trail needs maintenance, looks like it has been neglected. Over hang needs trimmed, some areas bumpy. All in all a good ride. Signage would help a lot.
I'd only use it to jump onto Genesee Valley Trail myself, otherwise I'd recommend skipping it.
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.
The trail is closed in the construction zone of M14. I found my way back onto the trail north after taking a couple sideroads from Hines and Northville roads. The trail from here is pretty crappy but serviceable until 8 Mile, where it has been redone. Smooth ride from 8 Mile north.
The part that's open is nice but it is closed from Dexter to Dexter-Huron Metropark.
Rode from Marine City and turned around way before we made it to St Claire. Asphalt is laid in maybe 10 yard sections. So there is a seam between every section causing the brain to rattle every 10 yards. Most of the trail was in the sun along a busy road. New to MI and had hoped to find the trail hugging the river a bit more to see the tankers. Also, the lack of signage made it very confusing causing us to stop several times to consult the map.
We are staying at Sterling Park Campground and took the trail to River Raisin Battlefield. We absolutely loved it. The trail has been recently resurfaced, wide in most areas, along wetlands and just a wonderful ride. We almost considered going somewhere else due to the reviews, but so glad we didn’t. We’re going to explore more here but if you get a chance to ride this, DO IT! So refreshing!
Rode this trail on multiple rides over the Memorial Day weekend. Connected to it via the Milford trail and accessed it from two different directions to be able to complete the entire trail minus the closed section. Great views of lakes with bald eagles’ nests and white swans - along with folks fishing, riding paddle boats and enjoying the beach. Shared the trail with many bikers and walkers. Noted that many fast paced riders fail to give audible warnings when passing-which is dangerous! Great trail and look forward to riding it again in the future!!
It was easy to find while staying at Camp Dearborn over the holiday weekend in May. Path was well maintained with adequate warning of crossroads. Shaded in various areas for a great ride. Will look forward to riding it again!
Nice and smooth. Nearly and surprisingly empty on Memorial Day. Great paved trail. River views. A super nice trail.
