Broken boards on bridge

March, 2025 by deby5mcw

While my daughter was riding her horse across a bridge on 3/21/25 (from Millington to otter lake) the horse's leg went thru one of the boards on the bridge. It appeared that the boards had recently been replaced as there were pieces of cut boards in the creek bed below. Just wanted to let someone know before someone else falls thru and they or their horse gets injured. I'm sorry I don't know which bridge specifically, but like I said it was located between Millington and otter lake. Wasn't sure how else to contact anyone to report it (feel free to delete after whomever needa to know is told)

North-South Connector Trail

Great Ride!

March, 2025 by ryanplewis05_tl

Nice smooth pathway and an easy ride between Gibraltar and Elizabeth Park. There's also a short offshoot into the Detroit International Wildlife Refuge, which I'd highly recommend checking out!

Oakwoods Metropark to Flat Rock Trail

Absolutely Perfect

March, 2025 by ryanplewis05_tl

Perfectly smooth trail through some pleasant natural and residential areas. The loop at Huroc Park is a nice, shady stroll along the Huron River as well. Great ride!

Flat Rock Pathway

Nice ride through town, a little bumpy

March, 2025 by ryanplewis05_tl

Plenty of tree cover and lots of deer sightings in the section along I-75, and the stretch through town in Flat Rock is a relaxing stroll. Only real complaint is that it's fairly bumpy in some spots, and it can be a tad confusing navigating the sidewalks to get between the old high school and Huroc Park in Flat Rock if you're not familiar with the area.

East-West Connector Trail

Nice Pathway

March, 2025 by ryanplewis05_tl

I use this frequently on my daily workouts, and it's in pretty good condition, and plenty wide.

Rockwood Pathway

Solid, Leisurely Trail

March, 2025 by ryanplewis05_tl

A well-maintained trail that's great for a casual stroll through Rockwood and Mercure Park. The northern section along Woodruff Road also serves as part of the connector between Lake Erie Metropark and Flat Rock/Oakwoods Metropark.

Wayne County Metroparks Trail

Great Trail!

March, 2025 by ryanplewis05_tl

Great trail with nice river scenery, easy access to Metropark amenities and picnic spots along the way. It also connects at the south end to Huroc Park and eventually Lake Erie, and to the I-275 Metro Trail between Willow and Lower Huron Metroparks. Great ride for anyone of any age!

Metro Parkway Trail

come on

January, 2025 by leafman1010

Yes there are a lot if bumps and rough patches on this trail, but its better then being stuck inside

Huron Valley Trail

dangerous crossings

January, 2025 by detroitgirl11

Crossing pontiac trail going west is Extremely dangerous - you cannot see cars on the curve and they cannot see you! And they are driving 50 mph. It’s crazy that other crossings with much less traffic have lights but this one does not. Milford rd also needs a light. Otherwise it’s a great trail.

South LyonTrail

A nice Trail with a Decent Length

December, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

This trail takes you through woods, behind a sports field and culminates in a residential area.

It's smooth and flat, with the exception of the final segment, which gets somewhat hilly.

Please note that of Dec '24 the last few yards are cut of by construction, with an unknown finish date.

I would recommend this trail to anyone looking.

Milford Trail

Hilly but Enjoyable

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

The trail is flat and smooth, with no cracks or bumps that I remember. It’s rarely straight, being full of twists and turns.

It is *very* hilly especially near the YMCA parking lot so be ready to shift gears in a jiff.

Boardwalks and small lakes help break up the scenery a bit, and road crossings are rare.

This trail hosts mountain bike trails within its boundaries that intersect with this trail, so use cation and keep your eyes peeled.

It’s a good 8+ mile journey that I would recommend traveling to visit.

ITC Corridor Trail (Canton)

Decent

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

This is a short 6-mile round trip jaunt. The trail is smooth and flat throughout, composed of gravel.

While it’s not hilly (it’s a flat trail) the elevation was enough for me to drop from 7 speed to 5 speed for the duration and it went fine after that.

There isn’t much to see here except endless power line towers (similar to the ITC Corridor in Novi) which stretch the entire trail.

All in all I do think this is a good trail and look forward to returning one day.
