There are a lot of great parks along this Trail. I have seen a lot of deep woods species like the Acadian Flycatcher and Wood Thrush and many warbler species as well during the spring and summer. One night in Spring when I was coming down the 76th street segment of the trail I also saw American Woodcocks doing their peenting calls and displays. I observed a Barred Owl and Wild Turkeys during a foray down the Kentwood Trail a couple of days ago. This trail takes you away from civilization and out into the wild, through farmland and through wooded areas. A great area to hike, bike and birdwatch in.
We parked at the Saranac trailhead and boat launch, across the street from Saranac depot and historical museum. There's a pavilion with restrooms. We went left from parking lot toward Ionia (right goes toward Lowell). Trail is smooth asphalt for first 1-2 miles, then turned to smooth, level crushed stone, then back to asphalt for 1-2 miles into Ionia. The trail is mostly tree-lined with a few bridges closer to Ionia, including one large bridge over the Grand River; only one significant road crossing after crossing the road in Saranac until Ionia. It was about 8.65 miles from parking in Saranac to an elevated bridge over a roadway near downtown Ionia. There's a pavilion with restrooms and designated trail parking after crossing the big bridge. Ionia has a picturesque downtown with a brick paved Main Street, historic store fronts and court house.
The trail is well maintained, and the pace was pleasantly fast for crushed stone surface; on gravel bikes with 42c tires.
Lovely trail. Lots of shade throughout. Down side is the numerous stop signs/road crossings but otherwise mostly flat and trail is in great condition!
I love this place! Never too busy. I take the paved trail. I go all the way through and back. Only takes 90 minutes. Very scenic.
Late August I rode the Kal-Haven from South Haven to Kalamazoo and back. I suppose it should be called the Haven-Kal?
The trail was in perfect condition. Very well maintained. In fact midway there was a downed tree blocking the trail. On the way back a few hours later, it had been removed! Kudos to the trail maintenance team.
Ride with GPS indicated a total vertical ascent of 1436 feet, but my Wahoo recorded 630 feet. Typical of RWG, I guess. It's pretty flat. I didn't really notice any significant hills.
Lots of people on the trail, but not too many. Straight in many sections but never boring.
My only negative opinion of the trail are the stop signs. The trail crosses many country roads, some paved, some gravel, every 1 mile and often every half mile. So there are stop signs. And you need to stop and check because there are cars some going fast. But they get annoying and tiresome. Just when you build up your speed and are in a good cruising flow, you see a stop sign, and have to brake, downshift and unclip. And then build up speed again, only to unclip again, multiplied by 100 times over the out and back. Ug.
I parked at P.J. Hoffmaster and rode to Shelby. Berry Junction is a beautiful ride. The asphalt is perfect. You ride through very nice woodlands. Going north T has some twists and turns that makes it all the more fun. This is my favorite trail that I have ridden.
Big rapids to Reed city is only good for walking, for biking it is very rough I don't recommend. Starting in Reed City going North is much smoother.
This trail saved my sanity during Covid and I've returned to ride it multiple times. I start at the newly renovated trailhead in Cadillac outside the Depot. Usually ride to Tustin and back. It's a slight downhill grade to Tustin and then uphill going back. Surface varies. Mostly forest but there are small farms and homes to see along the way. I have seen turtles twice on the path. Shoutout to Madeline Krentz for her description of this trail. My husband did have a spill once on roots that had pushed up the asphalt but fortunately no injury.
Construction ruined a large chunk of trail by muskegon brewery, weeds and trees snapped us on several stretches, the short stretch on the very busy roadby the old Sappi land is busy and loud. Long beautiful stretches by water and rehabbed lakeshore! It could be a beautiful trail with some tlc and land donated by Sappi.
Well marked and smooth surfaces. East side along riverside is more attractive than West side, which goes along city roads. Connects to Heartland Trail to extend the duration.
Rode from Greenville to McBride. Recently resurfaced. Saw lots of wildlife, including sandhill cranes and a fox. Not very crowded, and brief road portion was easy and well marked. Recommend Holly’s in Stanton for a snack or meal.
