Kensington Metropark Trail

absolutely Gorgeous

June, 2025 by bears64

Walking, biking, fishing, boating, wildlife, skiing, sledding, waterpark, picnic tables everywhere. Miles and miles, plenty of bathrooms everywhere. Swans, blue Herons, Sandhills Cranes, turtles….. I could go on forever. I love it here, drive 45 min. To an hour all the time to come. It’s my haven, it’s my peace. Water everywhere, very safe, park staff, park police. Come and enjoy!!

Dr. Richard D. Ruppert Rotary Trail

Alright

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's got some nice scenery, but with pretty bad pavement and an iffy round trip distance, I wouldn't bother unless you're local.

Towpath Trail

Beautiful

May, 2025 by sjf0809

This trail has a good surface of crushed stone and hard packed dirt. The trail followed the Maumee River and the canal. Sometimes either one or both were hard to see because of the foliage on the trees and underbrush. The cement bridge near Waterville and the lock and dam at the other end near Grand Rapids were both interesting. Informational signs were present at both places. I was thankful for the bike fix-it station near the Farnsworth Metropark since I had gotten a flat tire on the trail. It got me where the pressure needed to be beyond what I did with my hand tire pump. It was a good day for a nice ride along the tree lined path with great views.

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.

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

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.

Towpath Trail

quite the tour

April, 2025 by alwysasoldier

Pretty scenery next to a lot of bodies of water and the river. There was a couple spots where it was iffy on where you were supposed to go and one that was caution taped off, but it was enjoyable. Choose how far you want to take it because I went the whole way and the only way to get back was to ride. Lol

Michigan Avenue Connector

Nothing Here

March, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Nothing to see or do here except a playground and crop fields

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.
