Calhoun County Trailway

Nice Workout

October, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This a good workout experience if you are walking instead of biking.

Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park

Nice ride and great scenery

October, 2025 by terrytof

Very enjoyable ride from Whitmore Lake to Pinckney. Some of the nicest scenery in the area. Can’t wait to go again.

Kiwanis Trail

First 2 miles from the north to the south are very bad! Water puddles and torn up asphalt. My wife had an accident when she was forced into the thicket. Do not recommend riding bike here. Never going back.!!

Border-to-Border Trail

TERRIBLE signage

August, 2025 by redina.simon

Started at Bandamere Park through Ann Arbor to Ypsilanti. The signage through Ann Arbor was terrible especially at major cross roads. More signage and larger than 4x8” (sometimes so faded you couldn’t read them) placards at intersections would make using the trail more enjoyable.

Fishing Line Trail (Noble)

How Long is It?

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This site says that the trail is 7 miles (one way), but my bike computer said it was only 5+ (one way), so does anybody know?

Anyway, this is a decent trail with some rough pavement near the Kendallville trailhead but is still pretty good.

Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park

¿ Mike Levine Lakelands Trail Review

August, 2025 by wirgau456

I went for an amazing bike ride on the Mike Levine Lakelands Trail on August 8th, 2025, starting early in the morning. I parked at the Village Trailhead since the far east end was under construction for a new roundabout. Once I was set up and ready to go, I headed west and rode almost all the way to Pinckney.

The trail is absolutely beautiful — smooth, peaceful, and full of variety. One of the best parts is how it weaves between so many lakes, giving you gorgeous views on either side as you ride. The scenery was incredible that morning, with blue skies and scattered clouds creating a perfect backdrop for the ride.

I can’t wait to come back and explore further west on my next trip. Whether you’re a casual rider or looking to put in some miles, this trail offers a perfect mix of nature, calm, and beauty. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Peaceful Trail Well Maintained

August, 2025 by kirch5803

The trail was amazing. It was very well kept and clean with restrooms available. Most of the trail was fully wooded and all of the trail was hard surface . Highly recommend this trail!!!

Kalamazoo River Valley Trail

A great trail

August, 2025 by buysse1

A great ride on this beautiful trail. It’s a little tricky in Kalamazoo proper but other than that it’s very scenic, peaceful and well-maintained.

Martin Luther King Equality Trail

Nice trail if Jackson

August, 2025 by j5wm9vxxmz

Nice, flat trail. Some parts are under construction/repair. But most is still rideable.

Kalamazoo River Valley Trail

mixed review

July, 2025 by daenglish_tl

Parked at the Galesburg Augusta Primary school ¿ Meander from school to the trail ¿ Country like setting transitioned to a road-hugging trail¿ Riding alongside car traffic ¿ The trail was pretty smooth and the wildflowers were in bloom.

Iron Horse River Trail

Great Year-Round Trail

July, 2025 by motter.kb

I enjoy walking and riding my bike on both the paved and unpaved portions of the trail. Great river views with Deer, Fox, Turkey and Eagle among other wildlife. The Williams County Veterans Memorial is a very short distance from the east entrance to the trail on the fairgrounds and well worth the extra ride.

Rieke Park Trail

Short but Ok

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

There's nothing to see except some sports fields, a pond, and crops, and with a short round trip, I might skip it if you're not local.
