Bay County Riverwalk/Bangor Rail Trail

Bay City State Park Section-Bay City Loop Tr.

September, 2025 by vicki1960

We parked at the Frank N. Anderson Nature Center parking lot on State Park Road. Took the rail trail into Bay City State Park. There are plenty of places to bike ride in Bay City State Park, which offers beautiful views of Saginaw Bay. Within the park are several nature trails that are paved and bicycles are permitted. We stopped at the visitor center for trails maps. The best trail within the State Park was the Tobico Marsh trails which was on an old rail bed. There was a spur off of it which was gravel but took us up to an observation tower. Plenty of parking areas and nature trails. A lot of pretty scenery.

Pere Marquette Rail Trail

Very Wide and Nicely Maintained

September, 2025 by vicki1960

Accessed the trail in Midland at the Tridge. Trail runs 30 miles in length, nicely paved, from Midland to Clare through several old railroad towns. Quite a few trailheads and parking lots along the way. We biked the trail, each end, over 2 different rides. There is practically zero shade. The trail is very wide, with several feet of grass on each side, then maybe a few trees between the trail and Saginaw Road. Basically the trail follows Saginaw Road which is very noisy. Though a nice ride, it's not peaceful due to road traffic. The trail goes through several nature areas and passed a few parks. There are places to eat in the small towns along the trail. Each mile is marked. The Tridge was a sight to see in Midland. This trail connects with the Chippewa Trail at the Tridge in Midland.

Chippewa Trail

Pretty Scenery

September, 2025 by vicki1960

Nice addition to the Pere Marquette Trail in Midland. Access the trail via the Tridge. This trail meanders through wetlands and beautiful scenery. The Chippewa Nature Center is at the opposite end and offers free admission. Trail surface well maintained.

Chippewa Trail

A Nice Experience

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Chippewa Trail offers a smooth ride through woods and open fields with tight curves defining most of the trail.

Visit if you're in the area and are looking for a good trail.

Bay County Riverwalk/Bangor Rail Trail

Great Bike Ride

July, 2025 by jasonldurham

There’s allot to explore and see along the way. The bird watch towers are really nice. Bring mosquito spray and binoculars! The paved trail is really nice the real adventure is the hiking trail by the end. It’s more rugged and not paved but the views are amazing. Highly recommend adding this to your list of adventures but don’t forget the mosquito spray there is a marsh right there.

Hampton Township Nature Trail

Rough

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This trial is pretty rough due to all that loose stone, so if you go on a bike, a fat tire one is prob best, or perhaps walk this one?

Fraser Township Trail (Iron Belle Trail)

Iffy

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Pavement is rough and there's nothing to see maybe either walk this one or skip it entirely.

This is a good asphalt trail, a little choppy in places but well maintained otherwise. Flat as a pancake and not a lot of cover. The bridges and parks at Midland were very nice.

Pere Marquette Rail Trail

closed mile3

Very pretty out of Midland. Then we were surprised to see a barricade and had to get on the highway. Then got back on at about mile six. The road gets bumpy then. You are close to the highway much of the way. We stopped in Coleman and had ice cream and pizza. A place called mamas pizza. We only did 20 miles each way. We were told that it’s pretty much the same scenery of trees and some farmland all the way to Clare.

Pere Marquette Rail Trail

The most boring trail I've walked. To close to traffic, nothing interesting to look at.

Great Ride!

Husband and I rode from Midland to Sanford and back. Smooth, flat ride. Shady areas to stop and bathrooms along the way. Stopped at Midland Brewing Company on our way back.(Had entry right off trail with bike racks!) It was a great ride!
