The trail is lovely from Sylvan to Bagley and then you turn left on South Boulevard and it is all torn up and dangerous. You have to cross Woodward and drivers are very rude. OpDyke is not much better, but then you get on nice pavement at the Apple orchard Trail. The gravel is very course on that trail and I turned around at crooks. Auntie really needs to improve its sidewalk if they want in tourist to come through.
This mostly sunny trail offers pleasant scenery while running along side vehicle traffic, so bring some noise cancelling ear buds. It's also a little hilly and the pavement can be kinda rough in certain places, but otherwise this is a pretty good trail
I recently discovered this trail and have ridden parts of it several times. On one ride I went its entire length (10.2 miles). You can enter the trail at several points along its route. If you plan on covering it in its entirety, I recommend starting at the northern end at River Bends park in Shelby and riding south. At this beginning, the trail is quite steep downhill. Unless you have an e-bike, finishing in a northerly direction would present a challenge. Going south you will pickup speed so be ready to brake when necessary. The route is asphalt except on wooden bridges. Lots of benches and scenic views for rest. I found little debris unlike some previous reviewers have stated. Plenty of shade along the way. There are two bridges about midway that if you choose to go under them, will require you to dismount and walk through dirt and possibly mud. I found a way to get around these by going to street level. One of them requires crossing Van Dyke without a crosswalk or warning light, but it is doable (be careful). Then you can easily reenter the trail. My only complaint is a lack of adequate signage that could cause one to veer off the main trail. In the southern end, there are numbered emergency signs that are helpful in keeping track of where you are. Much of the other existing map signage has been damaged. If you exit the trail at Dodge Park, you can connect to the Freedom Trail on the far side of Utica Road.
Rode this today, lots of farmland. Beautiful scenery, saw a deer cross the trail. Could use a few restrooms, but overall a great ride.
This trail would have been a 10 out of 10 were it not for the frequent road crossings, as that really kept me from building some good speed, but otherwise, this is a very good trail that I look forward to coming back to in the future.
Beautiful trail! Great for cycling, walking, and running! If cycling, you can connect with the Airline Trail >> Huron Trail going west or the Clinton River Trail >> Macomb Orchard Trail going east. A lot of water, marshes, small streams, wildlife, etc! I've seen egrets nesting, bitterns, herons, bald eagles, eastern wood pewees, and a variety of other birds, as well as turtles and frogs. The deer are abundant and friendly.
This path is easy to ride with a gravel or hybrid bike south of Dryden.
North of Dryden, it turns into lawn over patches of mud. I saw people riding there, but they needed fat tires. You could hike or ride a horse, though. Be prepared for mosquitoes and biting flies.
An excellent trail that offers a great round trip, shade, regular changes of scenery, this particular trail is a must visit.
The Part of this trail that is maintained by Oakland county is beautiful they are always working on the trail making it better, we start at the beginning off Joslyn and ride to Dryden , after that you can see a sign saying Polly Ann Trail but it's just land next to a building then nothing it's a part of the trail but it's just over grown grass and the path isn't like there, Trail Link and all maps show it goes to Imlay city but after Dryden the trail is never Maintained they really need to make the trail useable or drop that part off the trail map.
This trail has a nice variety of scenery, as it takes you through playgrounds, urban, swampland and long stretches. It's mostly sunny with a bit shade thrown in.
