We checked the trail from Gaylord to Mackinaw City on Sunday 05/11/25. Gaylord to Topinabee still has alot of trees down on the trail due to the ice storm but Topinabee to Mackinaw City has been cleared.

Great trail. Ridden it several times but earlier this month there was a sign posted "no e-bikes". This was not a hand-made sign - a permanent one Just south of the Petoskey park. We ran into another couple who was forced to turn around and told "ride on the road". We didn't feel like having a confrontation so we just headed back to Charlevoix. I'm not sure I can recommend this area of the trail due to the signage. Otherwise, avoiding this, it is a beautiful and well maintained trail.
Rode to this trail Vanderbilt to Wolverine and from Indian River to Cheboygan.The trails are crushed limestone and well maintained.Beautiful scenery.
Rode this trail above 2 days.Although part of the trail was washed into the Little Traverse bay a detour is provided. This is one of the nicest trails I have ridden in Michigan.
I highly recommend this trail. We broke our tour into two legs. Leg one from Magnus Park to Harbor Springs. Leg two from West End to Charlevoix. Wonderfully maintained, clearly marked, with lots of little detours to the coastline. The only thing we didn’t like was riding along US31 in the bike lane without a physical barrier…but that’s just us. Otherwise a fantastic trail.
Attempted to go from Brimley state park to Sault Ste. Marie on 3" tires but the trail was still not doable. Not a biking trail. This trail is for ATV/snowmobiles. Loose gravel is thrown down and I suppose the ATVs are expected to pack it down. There are many areas of deep loose sand also. The scenery is nothing special. After 5 miles I gave up and hit the road. There was no fun riding since all you do is look down on the trail to pick your way through gravel ruts, rocks, sand, and mud pits.
This is a lovely perfect trail. We started at the very beginning of the trail at the beach by the little leagues fields in Rogers City. The trail goes through town by beaches and the harbor, more beaches, through the woods, over small wooden bridges past the beach on U.S. 23, past Heoft State Park and on to 40 mile point lighthouse. You never ride on the highway at any point, the trail is safe, smooth and stunning! A must do trail!stunning!
Trail good for orv's Pot holes and rough gravel.Turned around after a mile out.
I’ve ridden this trail many times from Topinabee to Wolverine and back; topinabee to cheboygan and back. Great trail for gravel bike. Well maintained, safe, and very scenic.
My husband and I rode this and it was fantastic. So glad the space is claimed along the Lake Huron shoreline for this paved trail. We want a similar trail close to Alpena.
