Fred Thwaites Grand River Trail

Good

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

An enjoyable yet short trip.

The Grand River is common sight throughout the trail and and plant is lush and abundant and otherwise there isn't anything to see here but I would recommend it.

Granger Meadows Park Trail

Nice

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

GMPT is a enjoyable but short trail that's full of tight twists and turns to the point riding a bike might be a bit iffy.

You might want to walk this one but I do recommend it.

LAFF Pathway

Ok

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's a nice round trip but there's nothing to see except some schools.

Accordion

Bicentennial Park Pathway

Pretty enjoyable

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This trail is a very enjoyable experience despite being rather short.

Pavement is mostly smooth except by the sports fields, plant root break the surface so badly I got launched into the air an inch or two.

Definitely worth a trip.

Battle Creek Linear Park

No signs, no maps, no restrooms, no water

May, 2025 by rjdurkee

We rode from Bailey Park west on the Linear trail to the end. While the surface was pretty good, the fact that there are several busy road crossings, no signs or maps, no water or restrooms, made this trail undesirable. What a shame that the city of Battle Creek doesn't spend a few bucks to make this trail top-notch.

Riverbend Preserve Rail-Trail

Nice, if short

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A nice, quick, slightly hilly jaunt through the woods. Wouldn't recommend cycling through here, only walking.

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.

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.
