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

Clinton River Trail - Oakland County

won’t do it again because the trail is terrible on South Boulevard and Opdik

August, 2025 by simonsays60

The trail is lovely from Sylvan to Bagley and then you turn left on South Boulevard and it is all torn up and dangerous. You have to cross Woodward and drivers are very rude. OpDyke is not much better, but then you get on nice pavement at the Apple orchard Trail. The gravel is very course on that trail and I turned around at crooks. Auntie really needs to improve its sidewalk if they want in tourist to come through.

Kent Trails

Don’t start at Douglas Walker Park!

August, 2025 by diane188

So - DW Park is super nice with great restrooms… but if looking for more than 2 mile stroll, keep driving to next trailhead point! Leaving from DW Park takes you out on 76th St - NO sidewalk, minimal shoulder, and crazy amt of traffic running 45-55mph. Other than that, the trails themselves were nice (all paved), pretty clearly marked (you do have a little jaunt thru a couple streets and apt complex parking lot - but it’s all marked with sidewalks or bike lanes thru majority of it and then right back to a nice bike path again. ¿

Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park

¿ 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!

Stony Creek Metropark Trail

Good Workout

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This mostly sunny trail offers pleasant scenery while running along side vehicle traffic, so bring some noise cancelling ear buds. It's also a little hilly and the pavement can be kinda rough in certain places, but otherwise this is a pretty good trail

Paint Creek to Polly Ann Trail Connector

So-so

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's an okay urban trail with some brief nature moments but otherwise there isn't too much to this trail

Clinton River Park Trail - Macomb County

Scenic trail makes for great ride or walk

August, 2025 by hawkesnest5

I recently discovered this trail and have ridden parts of it several times. On one ride I went its entire length (10.2 miles). You can enter the trail at several points along its route. If you plan on covering it in its entirety, I recommend starting at the northern end at River Bends park in Shelby and riding south. At this beginning, the trail is quite steep downhill. Unless you have an e-bike, finishing in a northerly direction would present a challenge. Going south you will pickup speed so be ready to brake when necessary. The route is asphalt except on wooden bridges. Lots of benches and scenic views for rest. I found little debris unlike some previous reviewers have stated. Plenty of shade along the way. There are two bridges about midway that if you choose to go under them, will require you to dismount and walk through dirt and possibly mud. I found a way to get around these by going to street level. One of them requires crossing Van Dyke without a crosswalk or warning light, but it is doable (be careful). Then you can easily reenter the trail. My only complaint is a lack of adequate signage that could cause one to veer off the main trail. In the southern end, there are numbered emergency signs that are helpful in keeping track of where you are. Much of the other existing map signage has been damaged. If you exit the trail at Dodge Park, you can connect to the Freedom Trail on the far side of Utica Road.

Macomb Orchard Trail

Rode this today, lots of farmland. Beautiful scenery, saw a deer cross the trail. Could use a few restrooms, but overall a great ride.

Muskegon Lakeshore Trail

Beautiful ride

August, 2025 by broelfsema

Even on a hot day, leaving in the early afternoon, it was a beautiful ride lots of shade lots of Lake breeze and ice cream shops. Really pretty smooth and weld marked if you’re using your all trails app to follow.

Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park

White Pine Trail from Reed City (Depot) to Cadillac

August, 2025 by bschohl

Mostly excellent trail surface for a road bike - smooth, few bumps; slightly less smooth at the very start from depot in Reed City and then when entering Cadillac city (older paving surface). Plenty of shade, a few stretches out ‘in the open’, but mostly very pleasant. We had a great ride.

State Line Trail

not a bike trail.

August, 2025 by brownlincolnt

This is an ATV trail which is NOT part of your description. I only went 20 miles on it and, even with the widest gravel tires the “rugged” disclaimer doesn’t suit the trail. There are huge holes left by atv tires. Most of the roads to cross were high up and I had to walk my bike up and down the sides of the intersection. The only people I met were on motor vehicles and I was covered in red dust by the time I returned to my car. Huge disappointment. Please fix your description ASAP!

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.
