Top 10 Jogging Paths & Tracks in Michigan, United States

January 25, 2022 Margarita Chappel

Think you need an ocean for a beach? Think again. There are miles and miles of sandy lakefront beaches in Michigan (thanks to the four Great Lakes that border it). The west coast of Michigan has especially nice beaches—try a rental in Muskegon, Grand Haven or Saugatuck. You won’t need a car when visiting Mackinac Island. In fact, they’re not allowed—this lovely Victorian resort town is pedestrian-only.

Blue Water River Walk

Reviewed By RICART75 - Peru, United States

This is a wonderful asset for the area. The views of the St. Clair river, Blue Water bridge, Port Huron water front, river traffic and activity, and the morning sunrise; create a place one can enjoy repeatedly. One can walk, run, or just sit and relax; all along the pathway. The Maritime Center is a really great place to start and/or end one's visit to the riverwalk. With its friendly and informative volunteers, clean restrooms, and nice cafe; it offers both a starting orientation, and/or an ending respite. Port Huron is fortunate to have this attraction; for both its residents, and its visitors.

North Western State Trail

Reviewed By Z2098YHkates

Flat trail with few intersections, mix of shade and sun. Beware of some soft spots on the crushed limestone along with chipmunk dens that form holes in the trail. Well maintained and sparsely utilized.

Manistee Riverwalk

Reviewed By Rafiki485

The riverwalk is very interesting as it runs along the river shoreline walking past boats and the downtown area then runs out over the water, wandering back to shore and the sandy area to the beach and on out to the pier. It's great for a stroll or an early morning run. Beautiful!

Kalamazoo River Valley Trail

Reviewed By DeputyDe - Kalamazoo, United States

The north part of this trail is very challenging to one and all....but especially to bikers!! Very very hilly and curvy. After you get through that it is pretty straight with just a couple surprise hills here and there!! This trail is paved and has a divided line painted on it. It goes past the Kalamazoo Nature Center and Markin Glen County Park!!

Thomas Edison Parkway Boardwalk

Reviewed By 511chrism511

This is a really beautiful park with a boardwalk, benches a boxcar, a nice view of Canada and a statue of Thomas Edison himself. It’s a gorgeous place to exercise, fish or just sit and watch the sun, the boats and the beautiful blue water where Lake Huron meets the St. Clair River. We are from the Erie County, Ohio area, where Edison was born, so we got to compare the statues!

Window on the Waterfront

Reviewed By ChrisL872 - Niles, United States

First, let me say we visited in late April when the tulips are in their full glory. There are two entries into this park with one near the tulip beds. A nice biking/walking/hiking trail that runs along the waterfront. An overlook allows visitors to take in the marsh and the ducks and birds that are in that area. No charge for entry or for parking. We had a very pleasant visit.

I generally start from Iowa Street in Alma and ride to Elwell and back. In season, I will occaisionally ride from Alma to Riverdale and back. It is a beautiful trail built where a railroad track once existed. Only minor hills. Lots of wildlife to view as you ride.
