Pere Marquette Rail Trail

Solar System Sculptures

August, 2026 by kriekkoff_tl

I rode the entire trail from Clare to Midland. The Hall of Fame Rail Trail lived up to its billing! The 12-foot-wide asphalt trail was well maintained and there was excellent signage. Although there was little to no shade from the midday sun, there were fully functional rest stops in the city of Coleman and the village of Sanford with restrooms and water fountains. The solar system sculptures starting with the sun in the city of Coleman and ending with Pluto in the community of North Bradley was an unexpected treat. The village of Sanford had an interesting historic village. The Tridge, a three-legged wooden footbridge, in the city of Midland was the ultimate climax to the end of the trail. The city of Midland had a cute downtown and there were lots of restaurants.

Pere Marquette State Trail

No More Car Dodging

August, 2026 by kriekkoff_tl

I rode the 8-foot-wide asphalt trail from Reed City to Clare. This trail now connects directly to the Pere Marquette Rail Trail. No more dodging cars on the road! The four mile section coming into Reed City from the east is very bumpy and in need of attention. There is also a section around the town of Sears that is in need of a little TLC. Several stops made the trip worth it like the Reed City Depot, Lake Depot and the city of Clare. Seven Slot Grille in Reed City has excellent food and a fun staff of workers. Don't miss the "Cops & Doughnuts" store in Clare. Not only does the store have excellent donuts, but they also have creative t-shirts, caps and other swag.

William Field Memorial Hart-Montague Trail State Park

24' Tall Tin Man

August, 2026 by kriekkoff_tl

The 8-foot-wide asphalt trail surface was in excellent condition. The trail was meticulously maintained and provided a good canopy of shade. The village of New Era was a good place for a rest stop. Don't miss the "Metal Man with Arrow" along the trail just northwest of the Country Dairy Store. The real treasure was the 24' Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz on the shore of Hart Lake about 1/2 mile north of the trail's endpoint. Be aware that there are limited restaurant options in Hart and even less on weekends.

Chippewa Trail

More trail for your buck!

August, 2026 by kriekkoff_tl

The Chippewa trail was just as nice if not nicer than its Hall of Fame big brother. The 12 foot-wide meandering trail was well maintained with many interpretive signs next to a bench for resting. I saw many deer and fawns on my dawn ride which took me through a nice mix of forests, meadows, marsh and grasslands. The trail even starts and ends at the Tridge! The only negative was that it was too short.

Fred Meijer Flat River Trail

great trail!!!!

August, 2026 by mori.p.wilson

This trail is beautiful. If we do it again, I think we would start at Baldwin Park and ride over to Tower Park. There’s a lot of sun on the west side of the trail. It’s also great that it connects to the Heartland trail so you can take that to Flat River Brewing. They have great beer, flat bread pizzas and meatloaf sandwiches.

Fred Meijer Flat River Valley Rail Trail

THIS TRAIL IS 99% GRAVEL

July, 2026 by liamvara1

Don’t be fooled by the photos of the path, IT IS PRETTY MUCH ALL GRAVEL. I went with a friend on this trail expecting maybe a small gravel segment and mostly paved, however it was definitely not. It’s a pretty trail, but not what was advertised. If you’re into gravel riding, you’d love it, but it’s intense. Pretty good scenery, but should be advertised as gravel.

Boyne Valley Trailway

Great Ride!

July, 2026 by donnacreamer_tl

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!

Plaster Creek Trail

Iffy

July, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

The trail is narrow and tight all throughout, and one section is eroding away into a nearby stream, so you might want to avoid this one.
