Fred Meijer Heartland Trail

Vestaburg to Alma-13 miles-Smooth Pavement

September, 2025 by vicki1960

We parked at the former train station, looks to be kept up and refurbished, located on 2nd Street in Vestaburg. Biked to Alma for lunch and back. 13 miles one way. This part of the trail is in very good condition, well maintained and even a section recently sealcoated. Downhill glide from Vestaburg to Alma for steady gradual uphill climb back to Vestaburg. Trail passes through a few small old railroad towns. We also found this section to be very heavily wooded offering plenty of shade. Passes by open farmlands as well. We would definitely put this on our ride again list!

Portland Riverwalk

Layout a Bit Confusing

September, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This is an okay trail with some slight elevation and good sights.

Saginaw Valley Rail Trail

September Ride-Beautiful

September, 2025 by vicki1960

While traveling to the area, visited this trail and was pleasantly surprised. Paved trail runs 9.5 miles in length from St. Charles to Stroebel Road in Saginaw. This trail is basically flat, well shaded and passes through wooded areas and working farms. The trail surface is in good condition. Water level in the Bad River very low. We parked at Lumberjack Park on water street, under the water tower in St. Charles and biked to the Stroebel Road trailhead and back. The trail does have several road crossings, some of them had more cross traffic than others but still a great trail ride! Newly installed and beautifully painted fence separating the parking lot from the active rail line at the Stroebel Road trailhead. Along the trail there are several benches, trash cans and even picnic areas. Trail services in St. Charles include eateries. We also biked the connecting Thomas Trail for a few additional miles.

Fred Meijer Heartland Trail

Not Smooth

September, 2025 by rwwerner

Rode from Greenville to 3 miles east of Edmore. Constant bumps from roots and separation in the pavement. Don't know how the other reviewers called it smooth. Scenery was wonderful.

Border-to-Border Trail

TERRIBLE signage

August, 2025 by redina.simon

Started at Bandamere Park through Ann Arbor to Ypsilanti. The signage through Ann Arbor was terrible especially at major cross roads. More signage and larger than 4x8” (sometimes so faded you couldn’t read them) placards at intersections would make using the trail more enjoyable.

Fred Meijer Clinton-Ionia-Shiawassee Trail

Pewamo to Ionia and Back

August, 2025 by ajbrinkman78

Today’s ride from Pewamo to Ionia was quite nice. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of trail in the shade, riding next to the Maple and Grand Rivers. The trail (both asphalt sections and crushed/compacted stone) were in good condition and pretty much straight and flat. In Ionia we enjoyed an ice cream cone at Cooks

¿ Mike Levine Lakelands Trail Review

August, 2025 by wirgau456

I went for an amazing bike ride on the Mike Levine Lakelands Trail on August 8th, 2025, starting early in the morning. I parked at the Village Trailhead since the far east end was under construction for a new roundabout. Once I was set up and ready to go, I headed west and rode almost all the way to Pinckney.

The trail is absolutely beautiful — smooth, peaceful, and full of variety. One of the best parts is how it weaves between so many lakes, giving you gorgeous views on either side as you ride. The scenery was incredible that morning, with blue skies and scattered clouds creating a perfect backdrop for the ride.

I can’t wait to come back and explore further west on my next trip. Whether you’re a casual rider or looking to put in some miles, this trail offers a perfect mix of nature, calm, and beauty. Highly recommended!

Paul Henry-Thornapple Trail

Mislabelled Map

August, 2025 by james.bruinsma

Just an FYI that there is no parking at 84th Street and Patterson. The parking icon on the map is erroneous.

Fred Meijer Flat River Trail

Pretty Good

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

You get a nice workout with both with some slight hills and a good round trip distance, good scenery, although signage is pretty bad by the Baldwin Lake Beach section until you get past Greenville High School.

Martin Luther King Equality Trail

Nice trail if Jackson

August, 2025 by j5wm9vxxmz

Nice, flat trail. Some parts are under construction/repair. But most is still rideable.

Fieldcrest Pathway

Ok, but use as a connector, otherwise skip it

July, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

If you aren't going to use it to get on another trail, I just wouldn't bother, as there isn't anything to do or see here.

Genesee Valley Trail

Good

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's got a mix of sun and shade, a good round trip, this is definitely worth a visit.
