I started at Meijer on the east side. Trail in places is beautiful with grasses and woods but in others it crosses a lot of roads and in others it follows along the side of a road. The trail could use more markings in places you could get lost or off course. All in all I give it a 3 star rating.
Loved the width of the trail. Get sun and shade throughout. We loved riding from Boyne Falls to Boyne city and back.
Very well kept trail. Nice ride with a few little hills.
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.
We live nearby in Idlewild and have rode nearly every section of this trail except from Chase to Reed City. We enjoyed most all of it except from Reed City to Evart. The path is very bumpy and the scenery is not great.
This is a beautiful boardwalk trail through one of the few surviving wetlands along Lake Michigan. You can see the trout swimming along the river! Note that this is for foot traffic only, bikes and motorized conveyances of any sort are prohibited, except for motorized wheelchairs.
Today we rode from the trailhead/parking lot at Frankfort east to Beulah. The paved portion rode through pretty countryside, and the fall colors were very nice. The gravel section leading into downtown Beulah was not as much fun. It felt a little awkward rolling through peopleâs front yards. But a lovely afternoon on the bike! Almost no elevation change, and pavement in very good shape.
I applaud the State of Michigan for making this trail system possible. This truly is a mecca for the outdoor enthusiast in many capacities. Friends from Dayton (OH) and Kalamazoo recently convened in Cadillac to cycle the entire 92-mile route, and must confess that we had an absolute blast! This is an incredible trail network that has the capacity to enhance tourism and economic growth along with supporting wellness and fitness, and reinforce the Stateâs natural beauty and outdoor appeal. Michigan - You rock! Thank you! Gary Victor Kettering, OH
Just finishing up the entire trail this week and impressed. The only rough spots are coming north out of Grand Rapids to just north of Rockford it can be congested and bumpy from cracks and root heaves. From Big Rapids to Reed City is can be the same as well without the congestion. The entire trail is paved and is smooth and enjoyable to ride.
Though the posted speed limit is 10 mph at each end, the remainder of the trail is 15 mph. Having experienced first hand last month, out there on a manual pedal bike, we were passed all day long by speeding eBikes. At times we got up to 13-14 mph and still they sped by. Belonging to several FB bike trail pages, I've recently seen postings regarding "bragging" about "turbo mode" and traveling at 20 mph. On this trail as well as others. Pedal assist may have gotten out of hand. If you cycle on this trail, be prepared it's like a drag strip. There are a lot of rental places offering eBike rentals and wondering if they don't explain to these customers about trail courtesy and the speed limit or the people that rent just are out there for a thrill ride.
We parked in Evart and biked West to Reed City for lunch. And back. Very nice trailhead in Evart, former train station looks to be recently repainted. Real restrooms but only open when City Hall is open. The asphalt pavement between Evart and Reed City is in very poor condition. Wide cracks the entire width of the trail. Not much by the way of shade as the trail goes through miles of sand/dirt quarries. The trees/scenery along the trail was pretty. Would not ride this section again unless it was all dug up and repaved. Will check in a few years to see.
