Wayne County Metroparks Trail

A bit Rough

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

I feel this trail is a bit of a mixed bag, as it has an excellent round trip and is completely open to the sun, but the pavement is very rough and badly needs an upgrade (which seems to have started around 2025) throughout most of the trail.

With that said, I would cautiously recommend this trail if you're wiling to try it.

Polly Ann Trail

After Dryden

June, 2025 by mrsscott8105

The Part of this trail that is maintained by Oakland county is beautiful they are always working on the trail making it better, we start at the beginning off Joslyn and ride to Dryden , after that you can see a sign saying Polly Ann Trail but it's just land next to a building then nothing it's a part of the trail but it's just over grown grass and the path isn't like there, Trail Link and all maps show it goes to Imlay city but after Dryden the trail is never Maintained they really need to make the trail useable or drop that part off the trail map.

Betsie Valley Trail

Hot summer day

June, 2025 by cpalady1990

We went camping in Benzonia along the River. Road our bikes and got on the trail in Beulah. We headed West towards Frankfort. The ride past Crystal Lake was beautiful. We stopped on our way back to cool off in the water. There is public access near when you cross 115.

Kensington Metropark Trail

absolutely Gorgeous

June, 2025 by bears64

Walking, biking, fishing, boating, wildlife, skiing, sledding, waterpark, picnic tables everywhere. Miles and miles, plenty of bathrooms everywhere. Swans, blue Herons, Sandhills Cranes, turtles….. I could go on forever. I love it here, drive 45 min. To an hour all the time to come. It’s my haven, it’s my peace. Water everywhere, very safe, park staff, park police. Come and enjoy!!

Fred Meijer Grand River Valley Rail Trail

Not Great

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's a great round trip, and it can open up to the sun & wind and other times plant life closes in for some shade.

While smooth, most of the trail is ballast & crushed stone, which for me made it very hard to keep my speed up.

I might consider skipping this one and looking elsewhere.

Leelanau Trail - Super!

June, 2025 by cjhoff1

Rode this trail for the first time and loved it! Didn’t love all the crossings or that there were no warning blinkers to activate at busier crossings. BUT, the scenery and trail conditions were great. Visited The Hive Cafe and had a superb iced coffee. Then stopped at Shady Lane winery for a sampler flight of wines. All in all, an awesome afternoon!
