I used to ride this trail several times a week about 20 years ago. I rode the section from Jackson Street to Fort Custer State Park on Sunday. The trail is in such bad shape. Very disappointed.
Have been walking those every weekend for the past month and must say that it is my favorite local trail. You will see a little bit of everything on this trail, which keeps it refreshing and new.
This is a great trail for inline rollerblading! The asphalt is smooth and even. There are not a lot of hills. The trail going beside the water is such an enchanting experience. There are many path directions you can chose from. I had so much fun bumping my jams and skating like there is no tomorrow. It’s a wonderful trail!
The trail has been extended and now goes down 3 Mile road past Alpine to West River Drive and North to Lamoreaux Memorial Park. (Now connects to the White Pine Trail.)
The Ram Trail links three Holt Public School buildings to “downtown” Holt along a very busy high seed road. There is monomial parking at the east trailhead and large school parking lots at the west trailhead. For the intended use it works.
I started off at the west end trail head near Muskegon and rode to the Fred Meyer park near Meijer's on Walker. The east end features some hilly terrain but was otherwise a pretty flat ride. If re-surfaced this would be a pretty nice trail
BC trail north toward GR was good for us. Douglas Walker segment had nice rolling hills, but they were too much for my joints (RA)
I ride my bike from Lowell to Greenville - this is one of the nicest trails in MI! The gravel is a special composite for biking and walking. It is well maintained and scenic with mostly flat rides through forest and farmlands.
My wife and I rode this trail in September of 2020. I totally enjoyed it! Perfect for a Gravel, Cross, or Mountain Bike. Rideable on a road bike... though probably not comfortable. The surface is still a little soft in some areas, so anything with larger tires would be ideal. It's straight as an arrow, but plenty to see on either side. The best scenery I thought was between St. Johns and Ionia. The trail is paved through the towns... where there's opportunity to stop for water/snacks/food. We had lunch in Ionia at a cafe downtown. We parked where the trail crosses Smith Road just outside of Owasso. There's a paved parking lot behind Budget Tire and the EMS building.
Started in S & rode toward A. Paved a bit around S. Great fall colors
Beautiful October Sunday ride. Not a lot of people but not deserted either. Loved the views along the river and crossing bridges. The trail downtown is fun too
