Northern Tier Trail

Smooth pathway, a bit lacking in scenery

March, 2025 by ryanplewis05_tl

It's a nice easy ride and a great route for students commuting to and from campus. However, it's kind of squeezed between apartment complexes and residential areas in spots, which kind of cuts into the scenery a bit.

Lansing River Trail

Scenic and Extensive, a Bit Bumpy

March, 2025 by ryanplewis05_tl

The sheer length of the trail is what makes it really worthwhile in my opinion. It covers South Lansing, Downtown, Hawk Island Park, Potter Park Zoo, and MSU's campus, which is a nice sampling of Greater Lansing. It's also nicely forested and quite scenic, especially in the fall. With that being said, the downtown stretch and the bit between Aurelius and Kalamazoo are both in need of repair; everything else is pretty much perfect, though!

Northern Tier Trail

Good Trail

March, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This is a nice trail, with offshoot branches that help to differentiate it from other trails.

Pavement is mostly sooth except in the last section, what I guess are plant roots cracking upwards the pavement so badly that it actually launched my bum off the seat an inch or two.

Martin Luther King Equality Trail

A Good Trail

February, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This is an enjoyable trail that takes you through downtown jackson that will take you through different landscapes including a bit of nature, behind a local elementary school, a park and a bit of urban setting.

As of 2023, the city has started to upgrade the section closest to Falling Waters Trail.

It's a good round trip experience and I would recommend it to anyone considering it.

Lovers Lane Bikeway

Not Worth The Effort

January, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's a good distance (round trip) and a smooth journey, but unless you're trying to jump on Romence Road Bikeway or Portage Creek Bicentennial Park, I honestly wouldn't bother.

Romence Road Bikeway

Not Worth It

January, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's way too short with nothing to see or do, so unless you're trying to jump on Lovers Lanes path or Portage Creek Bicentennial Park, I honestly wouldn't bother.

Grand River Arts Walk

Unique

December, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

This trail takes you through a brief jaunt through nature and culminates in a stroll inside Michigan's first ever state prison. This is a very quick trail, so you might want to walk instead any other mode of transportation.

Albion River Trail

Part urban, part nature

December, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

This quickly traveled path is mix of both urban and nature, with nature being slightly more prominent. The north and south Kalamazoo rivers run alongside the trail at all time, so its rush is a constant presence. It's also a trail you can complete in no time at all, so you might want to walk this one and extend your time outside.

Kiwanis Trail

Enjoyable but with flaws

December, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

KT is an fun nature trail that has some issues that keep it from being perfect. The first is road crossings, which are quite frequent. Another is that the trial is somewhat bumpy, with said bumps being invisible until ride over them with your bike.

Still, the trail is a pretty good length, and keeps you away from urban noises and distractions for the most part, as it keeps you in a nature setting for the whole trip.

I would definitely recommend this trail to anyone considering it.

Main Trail

A Nature Loop

December, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

Similar to nearby Dalhem Center, this is not a trail per se, but a number of
them in an enclosed area, with the main trail only being a mile long (round trip). As bikes are not allowed at the colleges request, this is just a set trail loops that can be walked in a small location



Ram Trail

Enjoyable but it could be better

December, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

This short & smooth trail is a pleasant but very brief through a secluded marsh/wetland spot.

You might want to consider walking this one instead of another mode of transportation, as it's over before it really begins.

Still, I would recommend the trail to anyone looking for one.

Vicksburg Trailway

Enjoyable

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

It's a quick journey through farmland and some wetlands. There isn't much too see here but I found that I enjoyed my time here and would return here again in the future.
