We parked at the lot in Elmore and first rode northwest to Genoa. This is a good section of the Inland Trail, very flat, good pavement, lots to see and do. The map doesn't show it yet, but the trail is paved all the way into Genoa. The newly added trail runs north beside Martin Williston road, and west beside SR-51, then winds along a separate paved path into Genoa. The trail is separated from the roads, no problem. The trail ends ends in Genoa at Washington and 6th streets, adjacent to an Ice Cream shop and Veterans Memorial Park. We then rode back to Elmore, then over to Lindsey. Each town is about 5 miles apart, giving us roughly half hour segments between each town. There are a few crossings along the way, but not bad. Plenty of shade. They just added a lot to the intersection going under the Ohio turnpike. There is a Sunflower Tours site on the outskirts of Lindsey. You can take a tractor-pulled trailer ride through a field of sunflowers for a small fee. Looked like a good time. The pavement is well maintained and the path is well marked. All and all a very nice afternoon ride.
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.
I went for an amazing bike ride on the Mike Levine Lakelands Trail on August 8th, 2025, starting early in the morning. I parked at the Village Trailhead since the far east end was under construction for a new roundabout. Once I was set up and ready to go, I headed west and rode almost all the way to Pinckney.
The trail is absolutely beautiful — smooth, peaceful, and full of variety. One of the best parts is how it weaves between so many lakes, giving you gorgeous views on either side as you ride. The scenery was incredible that morning, with blue skies and scattered clouds creating a perfect backdrop for the ride.
I can’t wait to come back and explore further west on my next trip. Whether you’re a casual rider or looking to put in some miles, this trail offers a perfect mix of nature, calm, and beauty. Highly recommended!
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.
The mostly shady (some sun peeks through) main path is absolutely wonderful and crack free (offshoots are a different matter), with a excellent round trip and ultimately connects to the MI air line trail, I would strongly recommend this one to anyone looking.
The two miles by McHattie Park are pretty rough, you might want to skip that section.
The trail would have been a lot more enjoyable if developers hadn't put right next to M-5, but it does have nice scenery, some gentle hills, and offers a connection to the I-275 Metro Trail if you want something longer.
If you aren't going to use it to get on another trail, I just wouldn't bother, as there isn't anything to do or see here.
This is a fairly good trail, as long as you don't mind a mostly marsh/swamp style of scenery, with power lines also dominating. It's an enjoyable ride despite that, with a good round trip, and smooth pavement, so I would defiantly recommend if you're looking for a good trail.
An excellent trail that offers a great round trip, shade, regular changes of scenery, this particular trail is a must visit.
Although there's nothing really to see here, this mostly shaded trail has a good round trip distance with some river crossings to break up the scenery, though I might skip this one.
I feel this trail is a bit of a mixed bag, as it has an excellent round trip and is completely open to the sun, but the pavement is very rough and badly needs an upgrade (which seems to have started around 2025) throughout most of the trail.
With that said, I would cautiously recommend this trail if you're wiling to try it.
