Overview
The Manchester Bike Trail is a 1.3-mile rail-trail that runs through the Village of Manchester, between the Village's western border by Leonard Preserve and its eastern border, just east of Hibbard Street. Following a former railroad corridor, the trail has a mixed of paved asphalt and gravel.
Please note that there is currently a gap at the River Raisin that requires a detour using sidewalks to cross the river via the Main Street Bridge.
About the Route
From its western end by Leonard Preserve on North Union Street, the Manchester Bike Trail heads east along the southern edge of the preserve. This section has a gravel and grass surface.
Since there is currently no trail bridge over the River Raisin, a slight detour is required. Take sidewalks along N Washington Street and then East Main Street to cross the water.
Pick up the trail at Chi-Bro Park (209 Ann Arbor St). This section of the trail is paved. The rail-trail continues east through Manchester, crossing East Main Street and connecting residences, shops, public green spaces and a school in downtown Manchester. After crossing Hibbard Street and heading into a wooded area, the trail reaches its eastern end.
Dogs on leashes are allowed.
Connections
The plans for the trail include a connection with the Watkins Lake County Preserve and State Park trail.
