Sycamore Trail

Iffy

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This trail is one of those half-urban, half-nature trails. It's a bit difficult to stay on the urban parts, as trail markings are a bit rare, with the trail really hitting its stride in the nature segments.

MSU to Lake Lansing Trail

Pretty Good

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A mix of urban & nature.

The nature segments are excellent, beautiful and lush but the urban parts can be difficult to stay, as markers are few.

Genessee Road Trail

Enjoyable

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A very nice trail that's nice and open all through with a good round trip.

Accordion

Jewett Trail

Ok

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A nice short trail but the view is dominated by Grand Blanc High School

Grand Blanc Bike Path

Meh

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Kinda unimpressive and some very rough pavement.

With nothing to see and noise from a constant, I just wouldn't bother.

Northern Tier Trail

Smooth pathway, a bit lacking in scenery

March, 2025 by ryanplewis05_tl

It's a nice easy ride and a great route for students commuting to and from campus. However, it's kind of squeezed between apartment complexes and residential areas in spots, which kind of cuts into the scenery a bit.

Fred Meijer Clinton-Ionia-Shiawassee Trail

Great Ride!

March, 2025 by ryanplewis05_tl

Nice, straight trail. Plenty of places for parking and amenities in each town. I wish it were paved all the way through, but in general the crushed limestone isn't a huge obstacle between towns. Highly recommend!

Lansing River Trail

Scenic and Extensive, a Bit Bumpy

March, 2025 by ryanplewis05_tl

The sheer length of the trail is what makes it really worthwhile in my opinion. It covers South Lansing, Downtown, Hawk Island Park, Potter Park Zoo, and MSU's campus, which is a nice sampling of Greater Lansing. It's also nicely forested and quite scenic, especially in the fall. With that being said, the downtown stretch and the bit between Aurelius and Kalamazoo are both in need of repair; everything else is pretty much perfect, though!

Northern Tier Trail

Good Trail

March, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This is a nice trail, with offshoot branches that help to differentiate it from other trails.

Pavement is mostly sooth except in the last section, what I guess are plant roots cracking upwards the pavement so badly that it actually launched my bum off the seat an inch or two.

Martin Luther King Equality Trail

A Good Trail

February, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This is an enjoyable trail that takes you through downtown jackson that will take you through different landscapes including a bit of nature, behind a local elementary school, a park and a bit of urban setting.

As of 2023, the city has started to upgrade the section closest to Falling Waters Trail.

It's a good round trip experience and I would recommend it to anyone considering it.

Huron Valley Trail

dangerous crossings

January, 2025 by detroitgirl11

Crossing pontiac trail going west is Extremely dangerous - you cannot see cars on the curve and they cannot see you! And they are driving 50 mph. It’s crazy that other crossings with much less traffic have lights but this one does not. Milford rd also needs a light. Otherwise it’s a great trail.

Island Lake Trail Connector

Use it as a Connector Trail

January, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's so short you don't spend on any time on it, so you want either walk it or use it to hop on a different trail.
