Fall ride with forests and wetland views

Ionia to Pewoma

September, 2023 by dmrober25

We rode today from Ionia to Pewoma. The trail was cleared from the trees that were down in August. It was a beautiful ride with the leaves starting to fall. About 22 miles out and back!

Bay-Zil Rail Trail

Did this trail for the first time today. Very nice, but short. We started from the parking lot of Ray's Bike Shop. Out to the end of the trail and back to Ray's was just under 13 miles.

Two huge trees are down across path approximately 0.4 miles from Smith Road in Owosso, Mi. No obvious way around them.

Fred Meijer Heartland Trail

Nice ride through the country

July, 2023 by 13leeannadams

Started at Greenville West/Washington intersection—rode about 8 miles and then came back. Enjoyed the path, the trees, the wildflowers, and a couple of farms—but not so much stopping for so many road crossings.

Pere Marquette Rail Trail

great trail.

July, 2023 by dan.allen.50552

We rode from N. Bradley to Midland and return. Lots to see. Midland did a great job being bike friendly. The 14 foot paved trail is great ( there are some cracks that could be filled). Great bathrooms well maintained.

Bay-Zil Rail Trail

Nice trail but...

July, 2023 by recon161829

Have seen many hunters along this trail. It adjoins a lot of private property where people hunt and discharge firearms. I would strongly suggest you stay only on the asphalt trail and do not venture off it. It is very nice though.

Pere Marquette Rail Trail

Generally this is a nice, flat ride. Had lunch at the unique Leah's Corner Cafe. Enjoyable and pleasant ride with decent shade.

Ionia to St. John’s - Ok

June, 2023 by rtvsxrkfdb

My focus for this review is the condition of the trail from Ionia to St. John’s, and not about parking lots, towns, or bathrooms. The trail is mostly wooded and shaded, but there are too many soft, sandy spots that make riding a touring bike (Salsa Vaya) difficult, even with a 38mm tore up front and a 35mm in back. It’s hard to see the soft spots until you’re in them and your handlebar gets forcibly turned45 degrees and you almost go down. The trail would be so much better and used much e if it were paved.
