Kensington Metropark Trail

Great trail even with closure

May, 2026 by pattie.batchman

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!!

Milford Trail

Enjoyed the Milford trail!

May, 2026 by pattie.batchman

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!

Wayne County Metroparks Trail

Macomb Orchard Trail

Down trees

May, 2026 by sytnsmvkbf

Rode this trail today starting at West Rd and 26 mile. Within 20 ft there was a downed tree blocking the pathway managed to get me and my bike through it. Experienced two more downed trees along my journey and did the same until I got somewhere in Armada and could not proceed any farther. This tree was too big to get through. Overall, this was a lovely 31-mile ride; I enjoyed the trail's peacefulness. Wish I could have finished the rest of the trail to Richmond but maybe next time.

Good Trail

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

Kensington Metropark Trail

why bridge closure still??

April, 2026 by detroitgirl11

I love this trail but why is the bridge still closed? It was closed most of last year and it looks like nothing has been done (bridge is on east side of island lake entrance). This is a complete closure which prohibits anyone from taking a circular route.

Huron Valley Trail

still no crossing light

April, 2026 by detroitgirl11

Just had another close call at the Pontiac trail “crossing” This intersection needs to be a safety priority!!

University/Parks Trail

Sylvania River Trail
