West Bloomfield Trail

Beautiful!

August, 2025 by cecelia.lapointe

Beautiful trail! Great for cycling, walking, and running! If cycling, you can connect with the Airline Trail >> Huron Trail going west or the Clinton River Trail >> Macomb Orchard Trail going east. A lot of water, marshes, small streams, wildlife, etc! I've seen egrets nesting, bitterns, herons, bald eagles, eastern wood pewees, and a variety of other birds, as well as turtles and frogs. The deer are abundant and friendly.

Genessee Road Trail

Nice little branch off the Perry Rd path

August, 2025 by dkmacleod_tl

A nice, peaceful path to walk or run. Genesee Rd here is pretty quiet. Mostly surrounded by open fields of the former Jewel golf course. Bridge over Thread Creek gives you a view of the creek down below. I frequently see deer along here. Would be five stars if it was somehow longer

Huron Valley Trail

A Good Trail

July, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

The mostly shady (some sun peeks through) main path is absolutely wonderful and crack free (offshoots are a different matter), with a excellent round trip and ultimately connects to the MI air line trail, I would strongly recommend this one to anyone looking.

The two miles by McHattie Park are pretty rough, you might want to skip that section.
