Village Trailhead Parking - Hamburg — Attraction in Hamburg Township

Small parking lot marking the eastern end of the Lakelands trail. Lot accommodates maybe 15 vehicles. A couple of port-o-potties serve as bathrooms. No water here, though there may be something available at one of the nearby stores. (Hamburg Pub is a block away but that wasn't an option at 10 am). Easy to access from M-36.

The Lakeland Trail is 26 miles long from Hamburg to Stockbridge. The first 10 miles, to just past Pinckney, is paved and great for walking, running, rollerblading, and cycling.

🚲 Mike Levine Lakelands Trail Review

I went for an amazing bike ride on the Mike Levine Lakelands Trail on August 8th, 2025, starting early in the morning. I parked at the Village Trailhead since the far east end was under construction for a new roundabout. Once I was set up and ready to go, I headed west and rode almost all the way to Pinckney.

The scenery was incredible that morning, with blue skies and scattered clouds creating a perfect backdrop for the ride.

I can’t wait to come back and explore further west on my next trip. Whether you’re a casual rider or looking to put in some miles, this trail offers a perfect mix of nature, calm, and beauty. Highly...
