Saginaw Valley Rail Trail

Great long paved trail, even has bar and grill.

Very nice trail loves the route lots of places to spot and rest/ enjoy the view

Flat and straight. Paved and wide enough for multiple people/dogs/bikes to go down together.

AWESOME

Icy. Not too much of a barrier between the trail and open fields. One of the longer trails in the area, but with not a lot of interest and the wind, it wasn’t the best.

It was awesome but there were some big sticks on the trail

Awesome trail. Paved well the entire length. This is the best trail we have found for our style of riding in Michigan (10 mph pace).

This is a beautiful trail, very well-maintained and clean. It's nice and flat for casual walking and bicycling. The breeze is really nice on the open areas as well.

Beautiful, paved, flat and not very busy. Great for an easy ride or long run

A favorite ride fairly level and shade trees make it a easy ride on a summer day

Awesome bike path! Lots of shade. Can get a little heavy on pedestrians traffic.

It was great !

Rode from Stroebel Road (north terminus) to St. Charles. Trail was moderately busy on a Sunday afternoon. Trail conditions were excellent. Trail is smooth and flat and is excellent shape. Ate a sack lunch in a gazebo overlooking the river in St. Charles. Saw Sandhill Cranes flying nearby on several occasions. Noise from the nearby road was not bad at all.

Pretty but loud by the road

It was so nice

not bad for the weather we had yesterday but a lil slippery in some areas.

Love this all paved trail! Rode from St. Charles and turned on Thomas Trail to get lunch at Culvers. We will be finishing the last few miles into Saginaw next season.

Well kept and well paved trail! I parked at Van Wormer and cycled the whole trail, about 19 miles. You can add some distance by taking the Thomas trail that intersects with this one.

It was long but fun, definitly enduence witht the blacktop the whole way

great well paved trail. well maintained, actually met a man picking rubbish along the way. weather was great and lots of little critters

Starting at the Stroebel Rd parking lot to St Charles is 20 miles round trip. Definitely one of the prettier rail trails I've ridden. It can be busy at times so if you're riding, be prepared to slow down & let others know you're coming. Everyone is usually pretty easy-going & will move over.

Easy, straight, well paved path. Some shaded sections. Can be annoying to keep up a pace due to numerous road crossings. Not too busy during weekdays, so get your sprints in then. Weekends can be a bit more busy with other activities. 19.6 miles from start to end and back.

It is not 19 miles, it was about 12

Went for a really pretty walk today. Lots of flowers in bloom. Clean trail with a good mix of sun and shade. I’m excited to see more of this trail on my bike!

always my go to for an easy clean path to ride your butt numb... have ridden from St Charles to Saginaw multiple times...

really like this trail! pretty cool that it also hooks up to the Thomas Twp trail and goes though part of the kluck nursery!

really nice trail lots of Bridges and nice scenery

Love this trail!! Such a smooth and beautiful ride! I bike it, but it would be a GORGEOUS walk. Bridges, blacktop pavement, rivers, wildlife and shrubbery, lots of shade and some open sun!...this trail rocks. It connects to the Shields Township Trail. If you get bored of the straight Rail Trail take the 3 miles of curvy Shields Township Trail to mix it up.

Trail is always well maintained. Unfortunately if it snows, it is not cleared. So plan ahead, and bring the right footwear in the winter. Summer time, it is absolutely gorgeous.
