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 Haven Waterfront Trail

Scenic but Dangers Lurk

January, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

The scenery for the waterfront portion is breathtaking but be cautious when going down the pier as water can potentially knock you over into the water.

As you get to N 3rd Street, the waterfront disappears completely and turns into a bland urban setting, so unless you're have OCD about completing the full trail (like me), you might want to stay by the water entirely.

The trail gets pretty unimpressive in its final segment, with the asphalt being very rough.

I assume the pavement by the waterfront is smooth but since it's buried under a foot of sand, it's hard to tell, lol.

TL:DR, stick to the waterfront portion for max enjoyment.

Spoonville Trail

Hilly but Nice

January, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This trail is a bit hilly so you might want to keep your bike in a low gear for the duration. To off set this the entire trail is perfectly smooth.

Animal farms are present throughout the trail so the smell of dung is a possibility.

Car traffic is also a regular presence you have to put up with.

Blind, tight curves also are a common feature, so keep your wits about you.

But all in all, I thought this was a good trail, and recommend it to anyone interested.

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.

Millennium Trail (MI)

Not Much Here

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

It's a quick 3 mile trip start to finish.

It's nice and flat but it doesn't really last long and with nothing to see here I wouldn't have a strong recommendation for this trail.

Eliason Nature Reserve Trail

Hilly & Twisty

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

This nature preserve is a very hilly and twisty trail.

The pavement is nice and smooth throughout your time here though the constant bending arounds corners will require you to keep your hands on the brakes.

Northwest Portage Bikeway

Hilly

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

This is a pretty hilly trail that stretches for nearly 5 miles but is an enjoyable trip none the less.

Power line towers dot the landscape as soon as you hit Hampton and remain throughout the journey.

The trail boasts a garden nursery near Cypress Street, so be on the lookout for whatever plants are being taken care of.

East Centre Avenue/Sprinkle Road Bikeway

Avoid

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

This trail is so cracked and bumpy there are almost no smooth parts to it.

Nosie from traffic is also a constant presence.

There is nothing to see here expect a few bursts of nature amidst urban sprawl.

It's also so short you should consider walking instead of biking.

Shaver Road Bikeway

Decent

October, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

The trail is kinda bumpy throughout and switches from nature to urban almost immediately, with nothing really to see. Still, I felt I enjoyed my time on this trail, but if you're not local, I wouldn't bother.

Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park

Needs work north of GR

October, 2024 by glrand1

Too bumpy between GR and Belmont for a road bike. Not enjoyable. North of Belmont is great!

Fred Meijer Millennium Trail

Fall leaf viewing

October, 2024 by jbatalis

We road this trail in October for the leaf viewing. Wonderful! MI trails never disappoint It was a cool day, with people on the trail. The trails are within a park system so I could see it being very busy during the summer season We found the section at Johnson Park (where we parked) to be exciting with its hills and dense woods. As seniors, we bit the bullet and went e-bikes this year, wouldn’t have enjoyed those hills as much if hadn’t.
