I'm planning on doing this trail as part of a longer trek. My bike has 700x35 tires. Would anyone care to share if this would be doable or should I go with more of a mountain bike tire?
One of not my favorite Michigan trail. really nice asphalt, beautiful scenery, great hills.
I loved this easy trail from Boyne Mountain into Boyne City. We rode about 15 miles there and back. We enjoyed shopping and lunch in Boyne City, during our stay at Boyne Mountain. It’s a great family activity!
About 2 miles North of Shanahan Field the trail is closed and you’ll need to ride on the shoulder of 31 for about 3/4 of a mile. All as of 7/21/2026
I started at Meijer on the east side. Trail in places is beautiful with grasses and woods but in others it crosses a lot of roads and in others it follows along the side of a road. The trail could use more markings in places you could get lost or off course. All in all I give it a 3 star rating.
We rode our ebikes - did not see any signs but we were more in the Petosky area. We saw several ebikes. In several places it goes right by the lake. It's shady in spots and we stopped for ice cream! ;)
Loved the width of the trail. Get sun and shade throughout. We loved riding from Boyne Falls to Boyne city and back.
This trail takes you from point city to Moyne Falls. As of June 2026 it’s in great condition with a gradual inclined from point city to Boyne Falls. Once you get to the Boyne Falls ski resort, some of the signage breaks down, but it’s easy enough to navigate to the main trail and Des Moines Falls. You do have to cross the highway and there’s no dedicated light to stop traffic, but it was easy to cross. Highly recommend this trail for bikes, e-bikes, a training ride while on vacation.
Very well kept trail. Nice ride with a few little hills.
We have now rode nearly every section of the trail several times and highly recommend it. My favorite parts are from Ashton to Cadillac and from Cedar Rapids to Grand Rapids.
This is a beautiful boardwalk trail through one of the few surviving wetlands along Lake Michigan. You can see the trout swimming along the river! Note that this is for foot traffic only, bikes and motorized conveyances of any sort are prohibited, except for motorized wheelchairs.
