It was not what I expected, had to go through a neighborhood and the sidewalks where really rough. The trail itself was broken asphalt instead of actual gravel or limestone.

Sometimes a little busy but overall nice trail. Gravel road had made my legs a little stronger as it provides slightly more resistance than a paved trail. Only negative (which is to be expected) is that on dryer days the gravel dust/limestone gets everywhere. So I need to wash my bike down after every ride. Very scenic ride.

The paved trail varies in terms of smoothness. I would definitely recommend starting after Groesbeck so you don’t have to cross the big bridge. Not much for scenic views. Mainly just the roadway. But if you head to Metro Beach you can rollerblade right in. That part is nice.

Another great paved trail to rollerblade. There are some definite hills. One in particular is pretty big but still fun. It does get semi crowded with people running and biking on it at the same time. But overall I’d recommend

This is a perfect paved path for rollerblading. Very smooth. I would say primarily tree covered. Not hilly at all. If there are inclines it’s very gradual and you can’t tell. Highly recommend this trail

Straight forward rail trail. Started at Rochester park and rode to Orion and back. A little crowded on a beautiful Saturday morning within the 2 miles near the park. The gravel is very finely crushed and makes for a smooth ride. Pleasantly surprised there were no muddy areas after heavy rains the previous day. Nicely shaded and scenic. Recommend for all ages and abilities.

Like other reviews say, it’s challenging in Lapeer County, but rewarding. Oakland County portion is wonderful.

Bumpy, loud, loads of traffic crossings. Do not go out of your way to ride this. Practically need a full suspension bike to not destroy your bike on the sidewalk slab drops and all the traffic crossings.

I enjoyed the ride in the woods.
