Enjoy The Outdoors In Grayling
Bicycle
The Grayling Bicycle Turnpike runs from the north side of the Grayling downtown area at North Downriver Road all the way out to the entrance of Hartwick Pines State Park, a distance of approximately 6.5 miles. The trail is paved with asphalt with the exception of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ heavy equipment gravel driveway (about 50 feet) and includes some very steep hills. The trail does have two dangerous road and bridge crossings that require caution from trail users.
It is acknowledge by locals that this trail is far from being the best to ride as far as saftey and ease of use is concerened. Attempts are being made to get the Michigan Department of Transportation to make some changes for the good of all trail users.
