New Trail Reviews

Parked at mile 11.5 at the Conneaut Lake end of the trail, located behind the winery. A good snowfall had fallen a few days before our walk on The Ernst Nature Trail. Surface is dirt. A new shelter located at mile 11.25 of the trail. Trail follows old canal and runs through the game lands. A beautiful trail for a wintery walk in the snow!

We rode out to the ferry on Sunday Sept 1, 2004, which was a very warm beautiful day. The causeway was too crowded to do anything other than ride single-file each way, with few opportunities to pass. User 'daniellefort' was correct about weekends but also correct about the nice little beach bar which we hit on the way back and that was wonderful on our hot day.

Beautiful trail as others have written. But the person who wrote about missing signs around Glen Arbor is spot-on. Glen Arbor is a fine tourist town with plenty of places to eat, but also a lot of pedestrians and traffic you need to watch out for - which makes it even harder to know which streets to turn on. Larger and more plentiful signs would be helpful.

Was a great ride, very busy with, bike walkers, jogging etc. Can’t wait until they complete two bridges under construction that will take you above highway and avoid cross walks

It does not get much better than this, plenty of parking and access points, bathrooms clean and well spaced along the way, nice visitor center and plenty of benches to take a break if need be. 12' wide nice smooth paved trail, slight elevations, nice scenery. In town plan on some stops at road crossings but people are very bike friendly. There is a great bike store too along the downtown trail head if you need something. I just moved about 15 miles from this trail and will be using it often!

Rode every inch on this trail back and forth. Not too much nature but one very small section. Should be called the Highway Trail most of it is right next to the highway. I've been on rail to trails all over the country this is my least favorite. You pass thru a lot of very trashy areas near Cross City, Chiefland and ride next to the highway A LOT. You see more broken down should be condemned trashy single wide trailers than nature. Also this is the only trail I've ever seen where the were to lazy to pull the rails up first. They just slapped the blacktop right on top. Big waste of good steel and it's causing problems all over the trail.

Last day of hunting season. Met at least 5 hunters looking for that elusive deer! Lack of snow has hampered hunting this season. Less than 25° all day but clear with strong sun; very pleasant 4 mile hike.

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.

Trail was closed at mile 8 in Covington with no warning, no detour signs and no way around it. Parking was unclear. Restroom only at Turner Creek Trail Rec Center. Lots of road crossings but very good signage and polite drivers who stop for bike traffic. Nice views. 4 stars.

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.

Rode late September right before official hunting season. Not a lot of people on it. But to be safe, we carried blaze orange. parked at Wes Block trailhead as the long road out from Freeport is just bad trail riding next to an interstate. Trail is dirt, with some repairs and gravel. Rode up to the state line and the Badger Trail out and back. There were some beautiful spots, but also some lone wolves walking the trail looking sketchy and a hunter on an ATV at twilight. If you wanted to do an overnighter up to Madison and back the next day, you could park at the hotel right near the WB trailhead. Not sure I would do this trail again though as it was a long drive for a day ride from the suburbs.

It's a nice walking trail, or if you're taking it to get to the MTB trails. But, if you have a road bike you should just take the road. It's a shame they couldn't have used crushed gravel so roadies could bypass the section of road past the Elks. As it is, it's worthless for road bikes.

I didn't see a single flamingo on this trail. This is not as advertised.

Tons of homeless people though.

But the bridge is out in Covington. We started our ride in Covington and was told that the bridge was out. That's fine but NO signage to navigate the detour. Since we have this app we figured it out, walked our bikes across a very busy bridge and eventually got back on the trail. But they should have it marked. Now for the good part. Great trail, best we have ever been on. Had lunch at the abita springs cafe, visited the Abita Mystery House of super cool collectibles and spoke to the owner for quite some time. Rode on a cool day in December about 6 miles each direction. Flat, interesting ride. Highly recommend

This trail is Great, we camp in the campground, and toured all the sites on the island by bike, great trip
