The map and all the text on the website indicate that the trail in Lapeer county is 20 miles long. I am told that all 20 miles is mowed regularly and evidently all the bridges and tunnels are in place. It all may be suitable for horseback riding or hiking or cross country skiing, but only the 4.5 miles south of Dryden has any sort of trail that cyclists would opt to ride. That segment is prepared gravel and well worn single track, intermixed. The web site needs to expressly note that is is the only segment cyclists would enjoy. The Oakland county segment is wonderful.
This used to be my favorite trail to ride. I still ride it often as I live nearby. HOWEVER...this trail is in need of maintenance. I mostly ride Richmond to Romeo. Trees need trimming - they are overhanging from the sides and from overhead (have to duck under). There are a couple holes in the trail - the ground under the paved trail has given way and the black top has fallen in the whole - broken leg for a runner who doesn't see the hole. There are a couple spots where the embankment is giving way and the edges of the trail are collapsing. Either bridges have risen or trail has sunk - there are some rough transitions. Several of the split rail fences that are bridge approaches have collapsed.
This mostly sunny trail offers pleasant scenery while running along side vehicle traffic, so bring some noise cancelling ear buds. It's also a little hilly and the pavement can be kinda rough in certain places, but otherwise this is a pretty good trail
It's an okay urban trail with some brief nature moments but otherwise there isn't too much to this trail
I recently discovered this trail and have ridden parts of it several times. On one ride I went its entire length (10.2 miles). You can enter the trail at several points along its route. If you plan on covering it in its entirety, I recommend starting at the northern end at River Bends park in Shelby and riding south. At this beginning, the trail is quite steep downhill. Unless you have an e-bike, finishing in a northerly direction would present a challenge. Going south you will pickup speed so be ready to brake when necessary. The route is asphalt except on wooden bridges. Lots of benches and scenic views for rest. I found little debris unlike some previous reviewers have stated. Plenty of shade along the way. There are two bridges about midway that if you choose to go under them, will require you to dismount and walk through dirt and possibly mud. I found a way to get around these by going to street level. One of them requires crossing Van Dyke without a crosswalk or warning light, but it is doable (be careful). Then you can easily reenter the trail. My only complaint is a lack of adequate signage that could cause one to veer off the main trail. In the southern end, there are numbered emergency signs that are helpful in keeping track of where you are. Much of the other existing map signage has been damaged. If you exit the trail at Dodge Park, you can connect to the Freedom Trail on the far side of Utica Road.
Rode this today, lots of farmland. Beautiful scenery, saw a deer cross the trail. Could use a few restrooms, but overall a great ride.
This path is easy to ride with a gravel or hybrid bike south of Dryden.
North of Dryden, it turns into lawn over patches of mud. I saw people riding there, but they needed fat tires. You could hike or ride a horse, though. Be prepared for mosquitoes and biting flies.
The Part of this trail that is maintained by Oakland county is beautiful they are always working on the trail making it better, we start at the beginning off Joslyn and ride to Dryden , after that you can see a sign saying Polly Ann Trail but it's just land next to a building then nothing it's a part of the trail but it's just over grown grass and the path isn't like there, Trail Link and all maps show it goes to Imlay city but after Dryden the trail is never Maintained they really need to make the trail useable or drop that part off the trail map.
This trail has a nice variety of scenery, as it takes you through playgrounds, urban, swampland and long stretches. It's mostly sunny with a bit shade thrown in.
Mostly gravel with amazing views.. one of our favorite spots to ride..
