Paul Henry-Thornapple Trail

Mislabelled Map

August, 2025 by james.bruinsma

Just an FYI that there is no parking at 84th Street and Patterson. The parking icon on the map is erroneous.

Martin Luther King Equality Trail

Nice trail if Jackson

August, 2025 by j5wm9vxxmz

Nice, flat trail. Some parts are under construction/repair. But most is still rideable.

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.
