Saint Clair County Orchard Loop Trail

Beautiful!

October, 2024 by rvjordan

This is a very nice, scenic - absolutely beautiful trail and you can either start out or end up at Eckerts!

Metro-East Levee Trail

I personally loved this bike trail. It is close to home and takes me straight to Belleville. It actually starts in Dupo. It definitely needs resurfaced and it would be a lot better

Rend Lake Bike Trail

Smooth ride

June, 2024 by 4x9c6qc6yf

We were camping at South Marcum so that is where I started. The concrete path was in great shape, just like riding on a sidewalk. A short distance of hard packed gravel was a little rough, but easy to ride. I had to quit at the visitor center because of the rain, but I will definitely be back to finish the trail.

Rend Lake Bike Trail

Great Ride

October, 2023 by hollyraejoy

We started in the back of the South Marcum Campground, followed the path and rode out 11.5 miles around Dam to other side of lake. We saw 24 deer and other wildlife, had the trail all to ourselves, 23 miles round trip.

Carlyle Lake Bike Trail

Which way do you go?

September, 2023 by jhoagland345

Agree with others that signage is needed. Riding the short distance by the lake was enjoyable on a sunny September day.

Rend Lake Bike Trail

great bike trail

September, 2023 by gavinlee5950

Stayed at Gun Creek Campground. Easily hopped on bike trail at golf course water tower. Trail was fully paved, rode through beautiful wooded sections.

MCT Goshen Trail

GREAT RIDE

May, 2023 by britt.anderson24

A couple friends and I tackled this trail on an 80 degree day in May! The weather was perfect! Trail wasn’t overly crowded and it was such a great ride! Clean, smooth pavement made for an enjoyable ride.

MCT Goshen Trail

A Fall Morning

October, 2022 by daniel.gimm1

My first time on this trail. The leaves are changing and the view is spectacular!

Rend Lake Bike Trail

Beautiful, well-maintained trail

October, 2022 by ghlord2011

We rode the west/north leg of the trail & it was a beautiful fall ride, with enough gradual hills & curves to keep it interesting. The trail is mostly away from the highway, and connects several beautiful campgrounds, in addition to the Visitor Center and Dam site. An enjoyable ride for two seniors!

Mississippi Greenway

beautiful

September, 2022 by catkrack0

This park never disappoints. The scenic overlook is breath taking and the trails thru the woods are shady and peaceful. Everything is well marked, and the posts of random information are interesting. Just lovely and dog friendly. Lots of trails, wooded, river front, and cave. Different lengths as well.
