Confirmed from Lakelands Trail Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Flat, paved trail for walkers, runners, cyclists and rollerbladers, as well as horseback riders.
What runners say about Lakelands Trail Trailhead
“The Lakelands Trail is great for walking, running, and bicycle riding.”
Paved section great for all seasons, and the educational signs along the trail are awesome. Even the graffiti is generally pretty fun 😊
Nice multi-use trail & linear park! Is completely flat, so good for just cruising along. Passes Zukie Tavern (a good place to eat) and passes through Pinckney, Stockbridge, Chelsea -- easy access to other stores, shops and restaurants.
One of my favorite places!!! Great to rollerblade, run or bike! The new trails past Hamburg are awesome!!
Great place to access the Lakelands Trail. There is sufficient parking and a couple port-a-johns. The trail goes a few miles either way from this access point. The Lakelands Trail is great for walking, running, and bicycle riding. It's paved, and is fairly flat.
