ROUGE RIVER GATEWAY NATURAL AREA

This is my favorite trail around and I’ve been to quite a few. The walking paths are so much better than the wide more paved bike paths. You can get really close to the water and it’s so serene. Kinda close to Michigan Ave so put on some headphones and hit those trails. So much fun and with nice weather it was incredible!

This is a simple, easy, well-paved trail that is mostly gravel. It is flat with some gentle curves, as it follows along the tranquil river. It's good for running, gravel biking, hiking, and walking with a good doggo. There are a few trash bins along the trail.

A great trail that normally connects to Hines trail, but FYI currently can't get through. We were bummed. The path is closed for some work. Still had an enjoyable bike ride.
