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.
Chippewa Trail offers a smooth ride through woods and open fields with tight curves defining most of the trail.
Visit if you're in the area and are looking for a good trail.
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.
This nice and open trail is a pleasant but quick experience for locals wanting a fast ride.
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.
A nice, peaceful path to walk or run. Genesee Rd here is pretty quiet. Mostly surrounded by open fields of the former Jewel golf course. Bridge over Thread Creek gives you a view of the creek down below. I frequently see deer along here. Would be five stars if it was somehow longer
There’s allot to explore and see along the way. The bird watch towers are really nice. Bring mosquito spray and binoculars! The paved trail is really nice the real adventure is the hiking trail by the end. It’s more rugged and not paved but the views are amazing. Highly recommend adding this to your list of adventures but don’t forget the mosquito spray there is a marsh right there.
The trail is closed in sections through the end of November. It is being resurfaced, bridges are being replaced, and mile markers are being added. They just got done cutting down A LOT of trees so it’s a mess out there and it looks terrible…
