Harger Line Rail-Trail

All Sun Here

July, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

There's almost no shade to be found on this trail, so break out a long sleeved shirt or sunscreen.

You'll be surrounded by crop fields the entire time on this trail, so if you want to sightsee, look elsewhere.

Otherwise, this is a pretty good trail.

Fred Meijer Flat River Trail

Thankfully you are able to track your location through the app would definitely have gotten lost without the app a little Savior... a good majority of the trail was nice and smooth and definitely some narrow aspects but all in all what a fun trip

m47 will be your companion along this trail, so bring headphones.

I feel like this could have been a nice trail if it had been in a wooded area but the traffic ruins it for me.

Kochville Township Multi-Use Pathway

Iffy

May, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

It's bumpy and cracked all throughout, so it might be a little rough on your bum if you do the whole trail.

Saginaw Township Pathway

Okay

May, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

It's a nice and open trail that links with a much longer trail at the end, though it's a little bumpy and sidewalk riding may be required.

I hiked all 45 miles. Beautiful scenery.

Fred Meijer Grand River Valley Rail Trail

Good Bike Ride

April, 2026 by ckfb9qqfnr

So the trail is smoother for the Saranac To Ionia portion than it is from Saranac to Lowell. Both are mostly gravel, but the gravel is better heading East from Saranac than west. I recommend parking at the Saranac boat launch and heading East to Ionia.

Fred Meijer Flat River Valley Rail Trail

Nice Trail

March, 2026 by d5vzmvfjk7

Rode from belding to Greenville. Really nice and scenic ride. About 7 miles one way.

Saginaw Valley Rail Trail

Great Trail

January, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

There's some gorgeous scenery with a great round trip and a smooth ride.

Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park

Awesome trail

October, 2025 by annette.stallworth.parker

We have now rode nearly every section of the trail several times and highly recommend it. My favorite parts are from Ashton to Cadillac and from Cedar Rapids to Grand Rapids.

Pere Marquette State Trail

almost every section

October, 2025 by annette.stallworth.parker

We live nearby in Idlewild and have rode nearly every section of this trail except from Chase to Reed City. We enjoyed most all of it except from Reed City to Evart. The path is very bumpy and the scenery is not great.

Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park

Awesome Trail!

October, 2025 by gary.victor

I applaud the State of Michigan for making this trail system possible. This truly is a mecca for the outdoor enthusiast in many capacities. Friends from Dayton (OH) and Kalamazoo recently convened in Cadillac to cycle the entire 92-mile route, and must confess that we had an absolute blast! This is an incredible trail network that has the capacity to enhance tourism and economic growth along with supporting wellness and fitness, and reinforce the State’s natural beauty and outdoor appeal. Michigan - You rock! Thank you! Gary Victor Kettering, OH
