Battle Creek Linear Park

Pretty Rough

May, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

While it has an excellent round trip if you the whole trail (including backtracking), the pavement is in rough shape with very few portions being smooth, you're alongside traffic for long segments, and some of it set in urban settings, you might want to choose a different trail altogether.

The only drinking fountain that I came across is by a baseball field by Brooks St. & Garfield Ave.

Battle Creek Linear Park

bladder buster

April, 2026 by benttandem

The Battle Creek linear park was very disappointing. Many parts of the trail have wide cracks across the width every 10 feet. If you do not have a flat tire bike this is very jarring. There are also no water or restroom stops on the entire length. And no directional signage or mile markers. There are several areas that are quite hilly. The only reason we gave it a two star instead of a one was there were a couple miles along the river that were smooth and very pleasant.

Kensington Metropark Trail

why bridge closure still??

April, 2026 by detroitgirl11

I love this trail but why is the bridge still closed? It was closed most of last year and it looks like nothing has been done (bridge is on east side of island lake entrance). This is a complete closure which prohibits anyone from taking a circular route.

Huron Valley Trail

still no crossing light

April, 2026 by detroitgirl11

Just had another close call at the Pontiac trail “crossing” This intersection needs to be a safety priority!!

University/Parks Trail

Great Trail

March, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

Nice & smooth with a good round distance.

Sylvania River Trail

Nice Trail

March, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

It takes you through some nature and urban settings.

Main Trail

scenic woodsy trails

March, 2026 by allwildhorses

Lovely area to walk your dog, or go to see pretty overlooks, wildlife and just submerse yourself in peaceful settings. Great place for photography as well. There’s one straight trail and many trails that loop around and off that main trail. It’s well maintained and groomed.

Main Trail

beautiful area to walk and enjoy nature

March, 2026 by traillink user

Gorgeous views of the river, wildlife and easy going trails, though some can be a little bit wet so bring some waterproof boots!

Border-to-Border Trail

A new section has been completed that fills the former gap between Dexter-Huron Metropark to Delhi Metropark on the Huron River.

March, 2026 by ghannan

A new section has been completed that fills the former gap between Dexter-Huron Metropark to Delhi Metropark on the Huron River.

Wabash Cannonball Trail

genuinely terrible for long ride

January, 2026 by elenakramer.ohio

The first 15ish miles are paved and then almost EVERYTHING after that is stone and mud and dirt and you are in the middle of nowhere. Now, I could have done more research but I was not prepared to have to cut through random properties and factories to continue the trail. We had to cross a live railroad just to stay on track. The majority of the view is just cornfield. There are also not many places to stop for food or bathrooms or anything. You cut through wauseon, which has some places, but other than that there isn’t a lot. Anyways- I’m traumatized!

Baw Beese Trail

Mix of urban & nature

December, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

You don't send a lot of time in a nature setting with this trail, with the first three or so mile south of Hillsdale being alongside a busy road and pretty rough pavement to boot, and with the last three odd miles being dirt, you might want to skip this trial completely. Falling Waters Trail is short distance driving away, so try that one instead.

Kensington Metropark Trail

Good Wokout

November, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This is a pretty hilly trail with few stretches of flat, level terrain.
