Angola Trail

We parked at Commons Park and there was no sign of the trail and no directions. Very poorly done.

A nice trail, with it being mostly crushed stone.

Winona Interurban Trail

Nice Trail

October, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

The experience is only marred by the short distance and the view being dominated by sports fields.

Falling Waters Trail

excellent trail

October, 2026 by barbodonn

My husband and I biked this trail from Jackson to Concord today. It was a gorgeous fall day. The trail was beautiful with the falling leaves and smooth pavement. We loved the many sculptures as we headed out of Jackson. We live in Toledo and plan on coming back even though the trail was almost an hour and a half away. Well worth it!

Angola Trail

Road Trail Only

October, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

If you're looking for nature trail, this isn't the one you want, as you will spend all of your time near business parks and serious road traffic.

It has pretty decent hills near the final two miles past Meijer, and lots of sun

Fruit Belt Rail Trail

Ok

September, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

It's pretty short and simple, with nothing to see.

Kalamazoo River Valley Trail

lot of tree bumps

September, 2026 by 2v2sv4x2n7

Started at the D Ave entrance road to Marken glen area then up to Patterson rd. has many tree roots coming through the pavement plus the transition between the bridges and the trail are terrible and dangerous,(drops in height)If you don’t know the trail go very slow as it is very curvy and hilly plus bumps. It may be a fun trail for the young, but not these 69 year-old folks. It is scenic but when you have to watch for the bumps it’s hard to enjoy. have to watch for bumps, you don’t enjoy it as much.

Kal-Haven Trail State Park

Gobles mile marker 20 to Lake Eleven Area

September, 2026 by vicki1960

September, 2026. We parked in Gobles and headed West to the Lake Eleven area and back. Old trail surface from Gobles to Bloomingdale. Though old, and sometimes dirt and/or grass and not very wide, easy to ride on. Mostly shaded as it travels through woodlands/forests. Before Bloomingdale there is a nice one-mile paved section through town. West of Bloomingdale to South Haven the trail has been resurfaced with new crushed limestone. We found it to be loose and more difficult than the packed dirt on the old section. Interesting historical signs along the trail. Gobles has trail services nearby. Trail services in Bloomingdale as well. Parking at each of these locations. However the restroom along the trail in Bloomingdale was rated one of the top 10 worst restrooms ever by my husband. No vent or window, more flies than ever and most awful stench. We were ok with this trail since though not very scenic, though we enjoyed reading the interesting historical signs and the shade.

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

Great trail

This trail does not disappoint. Highly recommend.

Baw Beese Trail

terrible trail

August, 2026 by lcoleman4

This trail is so rough you have to put all your attention to controlling your bike and can’t look around. The part through the town of Hillsdale is on city streets and poorly marked. Don’t waste your time on this trail
