Additional Links and Trail Information:
Munson Park – Munson park features a total of 7.6 total miles of trail in 5 loops. The front loops (in pink and blue) are made up of a crushed limestone path, suitable for all types of riders.
The remaining loops feature off-road singletrack trails that take riders through the woods and fields behind the park. The terrain on these loops is suitable for mountain biking, running, and hiking. The bike paths are maintained by the City of Monroe parks and recreations, but if you see something that needs attention please call us at the store and we will make sure it is taken care of.
Sterling State Park (Sterling-Marsh Trail) – The Sterling-Marsh trail is a paved bike path of approximately six miles that begins at the River Raisin Battlefield and takes riders under I-75, through historic wetlands, and then spills out onto the shores of Lake Erie. Fishing, waterfront camping, running, and wildlife viewing are common activities at this site. A local favorite, the Sterling-Marsh trail is part of the River Raisin Heritage Trail System.
