River Trail, Michigan, United States


4.5 (95 reviews) Spent Ranking #7 in Ingham County Hiking Trails

great place to run!

We're lucky to have such an extensive urban trail in Lansing, which also has most sections plowed throughout the winter. You can pick up the trail right by Michigan State and get a solid 20 mile run in on it. Its well cared for, and with only a couple of exceptions shielded from the city (meaning, its a beautiful view). there are many spurs to hop on/off the trail. And the trail winds through the zoo, around a beautiful park (hawk island), by the science museum and through downtown. What more could you ask for in an urban trail?

    Walking our dogs
    Walking our dogs on the River Trail is great. We walk most often near Hawk Island during the summer and fall and during the winter months near Sycamore Park. Fellow walkers are friendly and courteous and we have always felt safe.
