Way up north we headed this June after hearing about the island from a co-worker. We base camped at Wilderness State Park (biked from Waugoshance Point (west) to the Trading Post (east)) and caught Shepler’s Ferry in Mackinaw City (eat a pastie, arrive early, bring a map, and purchase tickets in advance) to get to the island. There is an additional fee to ferry your bike across, but they will allow you to park & lock your bikes at their pier. Upon finishing exploring “downtown” by foot and devouring some fudge, we got our bikes and walked them east to The Great Lawn and started riding the perimeter, M185. The trails/roads were crowded early on a beautiful day mid-week. To our shock, the clarity of the lake was unexpectedly Caribbeanese. There is always a spray of all multi-skilled level cyclist along the trail, so we averaged 10MPH (speed limit is 25MPH and they will ticket). The Hwy. Dept. had the road blocked at Scott’s Shore Rd. thus channeling us to the many paved & hilly inter-island trails. Our highlights were Ft. Holmes, Point Lookout, Arch Rock, Grand Hotel and Ft. Mackinac. After making it back south to downtown, we rode the west side of M185 to British Landing where we treated ourselves to some fried food and ice cream at the Cannonball Oasis. We were through biking/exploring the island in a little over 6 hours because even though the island is beautiful and worthy, the biking was challenging due to the throng of tourist, ourselves included.
I like the side of the trail that's east of the Cass river the best. More trees and wildlife. But it's a cool walk overall
I enjoy the trail, you will most likely see deer. Many places to begin. Very pretty and a nice small town atmosphere. I like to combine this trail with side streets. Nice all year round
I have enjoyed this rail trail all summer. Being a walker, this trail breaks down to a lot of different experiences. My favorite is the 3 mile mark between sister lake and Hart lake, thanks to all the people I’ve met
November 2021 rode from Alma out 15 miles and back. Parked in city parking at very start of trail. Parking there a short ride on trail crossing a few easy to cross streets till reaching College area where the main trail opens up. We saw parking in College is where most parked. Heavy leaf cover this time of year, so could not see trail most of time, trail had a few areas of bumps. Over all the ride was smooth. Will ride rest soon.
Tried this east of Coalwood but gave up after a mile so don't know if the rest is better. Deep sand and deep ruts from all terrain vehicles. Signs implied it was only open to off road vehicles although did not explicitly ban pedal bikes. I was riding a mountain bike with 2.3" tires but still kept sinking into the sand. Would not recommend.
I drove half an hour to try out this trail, and ended up riding only 3 miles before turning back. Poorly marked trail and detours made it a chore to stay on course, then when I finally got to what looked like the most interesting section, there was a sign stating bicycles were not allowed. On the bright side, most of the people were friendly, and the students painting the underpass were so nice that I wanted to park my bike and help them paint!
PS: The parking lot at Huron Bridge Park is small, but if you cross the bridge into Bandemer Park, there is much more parking available.
Really nice ride with good amount of tree canopy. Trail surface in good shape.
Great ride on well maintained trail. Good fall color. Benches and picnic tables available.
Riding a bike can be tough because the ATVs leave ruts which are hard to ride thru. Hiking, though, is nice. Different types of topography make it a very pleasant walk.
