Kettering Gateway Trail

Connector Trail

July, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

I'd only use it to jump onto Genesee Valley Trail myself, otherwise I'd recommend skipping it.

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.

Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park

pickney trailhead

June, 2026 by koerber.anamami

Parked in pickney. Turn left vs right. Stopped so much going right. Left had a few crossroads woth major traffic then it went to a park, but also gravel. Still was nice. Just prefer trails that aren’t stop and go. Decent shade coverage.

Border-to-Border Trail

The part that's open is nice but it is closed from Dexter to Dexter-Huron Metropark.

Kensington Metropark Trail

Great trail even with closure

May, 2026 by pattie.batchman

Rode this trail on multiple rides over the Memorial Day weekend. Connected to it via the Milford trail and accessed it from two different directions to be able to complete the entire trail minus the closed section. Great views of lakes with bald eagles’ nests and white swans - along with folks fishing, riding paddle boats and enjoying the beach. Shared the trail with many bikers and walkers. Noted that many fast paced riders fail to give audible warnings when passing-which is dangerous! Great trail and look forward to riding it again in the future!!

Milford Trail

Enjoyed the Milford trail!

May, 2026 by pattie.batchman

It was easy to find while staying at Camp Dearborn over the holiday weekend in May. Path was well maintained with adequate warning of crossroads. Shaded in various areas for a great ride. Will look forward to riding it again!

Tittabawassee Township Path

Road Trail

May, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

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.

South Lyon city trail

Very bad shape. Needs to be repaved

Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park

Good Trail

May, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

It's a pretty decent trail with a great round trip.

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.
