Confirmed from Pere Marquette State Trail'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.
What runners say about Pere Marquette State Trail
The Rail Trail is one of the jewels of Mid-Michigan. It is well maintained and allows runners, walkers, cyclists, skaters and everyone else to stay active safely and in lovely surroundings.
Great job on trails grooming. But could do better on dexter road between us 10 and wengtelton rd . And strens rd.

The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
