KT is an fun nature trail that has some issues that keep it from being perfect. The first is road crossings, which are quite frequent. Another is that the trial is somewhat bumpy, with said bumps being invisible until ride over them with your bike.
Still, the trail is a pretty good length, and keeps you away from urban noises and distractions for the most part, as it keeps you in a nature setting for the whole trip.
I would definitely recommend this trail to anyone considering it.
Similar to nearby Dalhem Center, this is not a trail per se, but a number of
them in an enclosed area, with the main trail only being a mile long (round trip). As bikes are not allowed at the colleges request, this is just a set trail loops that can be walked in a small location
It's a quick journey through farmland and some wetlands. There isn't much too see here but I found that I enjoyed my time here and would return here again in the future.
It's a quick 3 mile trip start to finish.
It's nice and flat but it doesn't really last long and with nothing to see here I wouldn't have a strong recommendation for this trail.
This nature preserve is a very hilly and twisty trail.
The pavement is nice and smooth throughout your time here though the constant bending arounds corners will require you to keep your hands on the brakes.
This is a pretty hilly trail that stretches for nearly 5 miles but is an enjoyable trip none the less.
Power line towers dot the landscape as soon as you hit Hampton and remain throughout the journey.
The trail boasts a garden nursery near Cypress Street, so be on the lookout for whatever plants are being taken care of.
This trail is so cracked and bumpy there are almost no smooth parts to it.
Nosie from traffic is also a constant presence.
There is nothing to see here expect a few bursts of nature amidst urban sprawl.
It's also so short you should consider walking instead of biking.
The trail is flat and smooth, with no cracks or bumps that I remember. It’s rarely straight, being full of twists and turns.
It is *very* hilly especially near the YMCA parking lot so be ready to shift gears in a jiff.
Boardwalks and small lakes help break up the scenery a bit, and road crossings are rare.
This trail hosts mountain bike trails within its boundaries that intersect with this trail, so use cation and keep your eyes peeled.
It’s a good 8+ mile journey that I would recommend traveling to visit.
This is a short 6-mile round trip jaunt. The trail is smooth and flat throughout, composed of gravel.
While it’s not hilly (it’s a flat trail) the elevation was enough for me to drop from 7 speed to 5 speed for the duration and it went fine after that.
There isn’t much to see here except endless power line towers (similar to the ITC Corridor in Novi) which stretch the entire trail.
All in all I do think this is a good trail and look forward to returning one day.
This trail is a quick, done-in-under-30 min-type of trail. It starts off in a nature setting that quickly gives way to urban almost immediately, with nature returning in the last segment.
It is a little difficult to stay on this one as there is no trail marking or signage that I saw.
The last part is comprised of loose stone that might make a bike trip unpleasant, so consider walking this path.
There isn’t too much to this trail, being a round trip of 3 miles. It is nice and smooth for the most part.
You’ll spend most of your time in an urban setting except for a brief stint in a wooded section that ends far quickly for my taste.
It’s fine for locals, but I wouldn’t bother traveling to this one.
