My 13 year old son and I came here today and we loved it. The trail was very well kept and had some good incline on some parts. We did a total of almost 11 miles (to a certain point and turning around) and just loved it. Some parts of the trail are pretty wide which makes it easier for passers. The trail wasn’t too busy either. Beware though. This trail is VERY dusty. My son got dust in his eyes several times and his allergies were kicking his butt. The up side to all the dust on the trail was the satisfaction of rinsing our bikes with the hose afterwards ¿ Great scenic trail! Highly recommend. I will be coming back. J
I rate this trail with 3 stars because of the good asphalt surface and the connection to other trails. The majority of the trail is boring north of 29 Mile heading towards Richmond. Not many places to stop along the trail and enjoy the view, because there aren’t any, definitely needs improvement.
This is a very nice wide path that goes I think a little over 2 miles in one direction It has just been resurfaced and is very level. At the starting point near the parking lot is a bathroom and drinking fountains. They also have picnic tables and benches along the path. The only drawback is there’s a spot where at the freeway is very close to the trail and it’s kind of loud.
I started at the Opdyke Trail Head. Headed east and enjoyed the first mile of two through Auburn Hills which was newly paved. Outside of Auburn Hills the trail became crushed asphalt. I rode to Rochester Hills and turned around. I do not like riding on this crap. Also there were several very busy roads to cross.
Headed west from Opdyke. You are riding on sidewalk along busy roads. After about a mile the sidewalk deteriorates and becomes narrow. I turned around.
I never did see the Clinton River.
I will NOT ride this trail again.
Recommended for fat tire bikes and people not interested in a nice trail.
This is one of the original rail trails in Michigan and provides a valuable link in the growing network of trails across metro Detroit. Very scenic, frequently riding past or across many lakes and wildlife viewing is easy along the trail. The trail seamlessly connects to a larger network of trails on either end, allowing for days worth of riding if desired. The trail is always popular and well used.
The biggest complaint is the crushed gravel surface, which while perfectly easy to ride in dry weather can become a muddy mess in the spring and after heavy rain. Unfortunately, too many people attempt to ride the trail while the surface is soft, leaving behind permanent ruts that must be navigated throughout the year. Like all gravel trails, expect your drivetrain to need a good cleaning once your ride is done.
This is one fantastic trail, at least the part I was on, at this time of year (October).
I started at the Romeo Trailside park and headed left (North?)
The bridge going over the highway at the beginning has an incline up and down. Other than that, flat and level.
The trail is paved, marked every half mile and meanders through wooded and open areas.
A couple bridges over a few creeks is something I always enjoy.
It seems to be a safe trail, in a good area and there was a lot of bikers and several walkers as well.
The only negative is 3 cross-overs of rather busy roads. One of them had a good bit of cars that I had to wait for a couple minutes before I could get across. But don't let that deter you from enjoying this trai.
So as always, if in the area and want to get a couple miles in, head here.
You should your run, walk, bike.
I started in Imlay City and rode my gravel bike to where the trail ends on Joslyn RD, then rode back to Imlay City. 55 miles round trip Imlay City to Dryden This ride is tough, but doable. It’s grass with somewhat of a singletrack being formed from riding. I rode early October so the grass was short, but I could see it being an issue early season. Just before Leonard is the county shift, and there’s a noticeable differences between the two counties. Dryden to Leonard (only place with water fountain) Singletrack with gradual elevation and it’s a fairly easy ride. The trail will get nicer as you get closer to Leonard. Leonard to the end of the trail Wide gravel path with periods of pavement in the cities. Easy ride
Really nice trail with good distance but unfortunately it is really dusty. When taking a drink out of my water bottle, I could taste the dust and feel the grit. Mountain bikers may be used to it but a return to cycling rider like me, I wasn’t too keen on it. Had to wash down my bike afterwards. Michigan Air Trail is 100% paved so I like that better. I did get a water bottle with a cover for future dusty rides though.
Great trail with good asphalt. Has a couple of bike shops directly on the trail as well as restaurants and pubs. Bonus if you go in the fall you can stop at a code mill for cider, apples and other goodies.
Hi everyone. I grew up in metro Detroit and have lived for the last 25 years in Canada. We have really nice trails but you have to get out of downtown to get nice long trails with nature. And this trail does not disappoint. Well marked and with lots of rest stops you can’t do better. There are lots of places to read about the nature too on display. I bet it’s really nice in fall and winter too!
