The mostly shady (some sun peeks through) main path is absolutely wonderful and crack free (offshoots are a different matter), with a excellent round trip and ultimately connects to the MI air line trail, I would strongly recommend this one to anyone looking.
The two miles by McHattie Park are pretty rough, you might want to skip that section.
If you aren't going to use it to get on another trail, I just wouldn't bother, as there isn't anything to do or see here.
This is a fairly good trail, as long as you don't mind a mostly marsh/swamp style of scenery, with power lines also dominating. It's an enjoyable ride despite that, with a good round trip, and smooth pavement, so I would defiantly recommend if you're looking for a good trail.
Although there's nothing really to see here, this mostly shaded trail has a good round trip distance with some river crossings to break up the scenery, though I might skip this one.
I feel this trail is a bit of a mixed bag, as it has an excellent round trip and is completely open to the sun, but the pavement is very rough and badly needs an upgrade (which seems to have started around 2025) throughout most of the trail.
With that said, I would cautiously recommend this trail if you're wiling to try it.
Walking, biking, fishing, boating, wildlife, skiing, sledding, waterpark, picnic tables everywhere. Miles and miles, plenty of bathrooms everywhere. Swans, blue Herons, Sandhills Cranes, turtles….. I could go on forever. I love it here, drive 45 min. To an hour all the time to come. It’s my haven, it’s my peace. Water everywhere, very safe, park staff, park police. Come and enjoy!!
Split into two sections, one paved and the other wooded with packed dirt, it's a decent trail but nothing special.
The first part is completely paved with not a single bump or crack that I saw, and the second is the wooded part that's a bit rougher though with a better view of the St. Joseph's River.
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.
This is a pretty bad trail, with pavement being cracked and rutted all throughout, with some cracks being bad enough to launch me out of my seat.
There's nothing even to see except some playgrounds, as the trail is largely urban.
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.
