A nice trail whose view is unfortunately dominated by I-75 and power lines.
A very nice trail that's nice and open all through with a good round trip.
Kinda unimpressive and some very rough pavement.
With nothing to see and noise from a constant, I just wouldn't bother.
After living in Northern & West Michigan for 15 years, this trail is good but not excellent. If you have ever had the chance to cycle on the White Pine Trail, Leelanau Trail, or others that are more northern/rural, the MOT will suffice for a semi-rural feel. From Romeo to Richmond, you will cycle past farms, small woods, creeks, and the North Branch Clinton River. I ran my bird app and came across some rare birds for the end of April. Migration is done done for spring so I am sure there would be some awesome birds to listen to and observe. I don't think this is trail for a 50+ mile ride. I would say out and back 25-30 miles maximum. I didn't cycle in the suburban sprawl portion. The surface is relatively good and there are a few potholes. The road crossings are typical for the population and as you get more rural, the traffic is less but still be very cautious. People drive so fast in southern Michigan even in semi-rural areas. Overall, great ride, but I would prefer to do longer rides of 30-70 miles in a truly rural setting where my cadence isn't broken by so many road crossings and bad drivers. Try it to see for yourself! Enjoy the ride!
While my daughter was riding her horse across a bridge on 3/21/25 (from Millington to otter lake) the horse's leg went thru one of the boards on the bridge. It appeared that the boards had recently been replaced as there were pieces of cut boards in the creek bed below. Just wanted to let someone know before someone else falls thru and they or their horse gets injured. I'm sorry I don't know which bridge specifically, but like I said it was located between Millington and otter lake. Wasn't sure how else to contact anyone to report it (feel free to delete after whomever needa to know is told)
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!
Yes there are a lot if bumps and rough patches on this trail, but its better then being stuck inside
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.
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.
Applewood seems to be more of a connector type of trail, as opposed to a full trail by its self.
Parts of the trail seem prone to flooding when there's heavy rain, so be on the lookout for that.
There's a few sports fields and swing sets for kids but other than that, there isn't anything to see or do here.
