Border-to-Border Trail

TERRIBLE signage

August, 2025 by redina.simon

Started at Bandamere Park through Ann Arbor to Ypsilanti. The signage through Ann Arbor was terrible especially at major cross roads. More signage and larger than 4x8” (sometimes so faded you couldn’t read them) placards at intersections would make using the trail more enjoyable.

Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park

¿ Mike Levine Lakelands Trail Review

August, 2025 by wirgau456

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!

Martin Luther King Equality Trail

Nice trail if Jackson

August, 2025 by j5wm9vxxmz

Nice, flat trail. Some parts are under construction/repair. But most is still rideable.

Iron Horse River Trail

Great Year-Round Trail

July, 2025 by motter.kb

I enjoy walking and riding my bike on both the paved and unpaved portions of the trail. Great river views with Deer, Fox, Turkey and Eagle among other wildlife. The Williams County Veterans Memorial is a very short distance from the east entrance to the trail on the fairgrounds and well worth the extra ride.

Rieke Park Trail

Short but Ok

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

There's nothing to see except some sports fields, a pond, and crops, and with a short round trip, I might skip it if you're not local.

St. Joseph River Greenway

Ok

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

There's lots of shade on this one, with statues lining the entrance to the trail and the Joseph River is always in sight.

The trail itself has a lot tight twists and turns early on before straightening out and the pavement is pretty rough, with bumps and cracks throughout.

I would only recommend this one to locals, and maybe only walk it.

Iron Horse River Trail

Ok

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Split into two sections, one paved and the other wooded with packed dirt, it's a decent trail but nothing special.

The first part is completely paved with not a single bump or crack that I saw, and the second is the wooded part that's a bit rougher though with a better view of the St. Joseph's River.

DeKalb County Trail

new asphalt

May, 2025 by deb.mihalec

Widen and new asphalt!! You can park at the old greenhurst golf course. Plus, ride through the old golf course, and also ride through Rieke Park.

Battle Creek Linear Park

No signs, no maps, no restrooms, no water

May, 2025 by rjdurkee

We rode from Bailey Park west on the Linear trail to the end. While the surface was pretty good, the fact that there are several busy road crossings, no signs or maps, no water or restrooms, made this trail undesirable. What a shame that the city of Battle Creek doesn't spend a few bucks to make this trail top-notch.

Russell Street to Patterson Street Trail

Nice, if short

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's nice and smooth pavement, but it's so short (even round trip) that's it's only kinda worth it if you walk it.

Riverbend Preserve Rail-Trail

Nice, if short

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A nice, quick, slightly hilly jaunt through the woods. Wouldn't recommend cycling through here, only walking.

Sycamore Trail (MI)

Iffy

April, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This trail is one of those half-urban, half-nature trails. It's a bit difficult to stay on the urban parts, as trail markings are a bit rare, with the trail really hitting its stride in the nature segments.
