This rail trail is well maintained. The trail is paved and smooth. There is a side trail that goes to several eateries in Saginaw. There was plenty of parking when we were there. Distance round trip with extension was around 24 miles.

Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge

Reviewed By sland1225 - Lansing, United States

This is a beautiful place for a nice drive in nature. The road through the refuge is great and takes you past a variety of habitats. We saw a lot of herons and Great White egrets, as well as ducks, pelicans and turtles. My mother and I were both struck by the peace and quiet of the environment and the beauty of the wetlands. I hope to return next year to hike the trails.
