Kensington Metropark Hike-Bike TrailThe 8.5-mile Kensington Metropark Hike-Bike Trail encircles picturesque Kent Lake, passing along the water’s edge and several recreational amenities that have made Kensington Metropark one of Michigan’s most popular parks. The paved trail is nicely maintained, and pleasantly curvy, with a few inclines that may require some extrapedal power. Hint: going clockwise is easiest.
Milford TrailCompleted in 2009, the Milford Trail travels approximately 5 miles from Kensington Metropark Hike-Bike Trail to Commerce Road (Carls Family YMCA) in Milford. This perfectly smooth asphalt
trail follows a scenic route through the Huron River Valley, over Ford Dam and around Hubbell Pond. When you reach the end of the trail, you can follow Commerce Road into downtown Milford where you’ll find several stores and restaurants.
Huron River Water TrailPart of the 104-mile Huron River Water Trail that flows from Proud Lake to Lake Erie, the 14-mile section of the water trail shown on this map offers easy access and riverside camping. You’ll need to make two portages: at Hubbell Dam and Kent Lake Dam. For information about the entire Huron River Water Trail and its amenities, access sites, float times, portages and out-fitters, visit: HuronRiverWaterTrail.org
Huron Valley TrailThe 12.5-mile Huron Valley Trail follows along the former Air Line Railway, one of Michigan’s first railroads. From the tunnel under I-96, a western spur of the trail takes you over a steep ridge into the Huron River Valley where you connect with the Island Lake Pathway and Kensington Metropark Hike-Bike Trail.
Island Lake PathwayThe Island Lake Pathway offers 4 miles of smooth asphalt trail that meanders through the Island Lake State Recreation Area. At the end of the paved pathway, continue west on Kent Lake Beach Road to connect with Mike Levine Lakeslands Trail.
