Lansing River Trail — Attraction in Lansing

Visiting a friend in Lansing and I take walks everyday. The Lansing River trail makes for great walks both during the day and in the evening. I've walked from Old Town to the zoo and all of it is enjoyable with lots to see and never too busy. Keep an eye out for the scooters. Some of the scooters go fast and don't announce themselves. Just keep to the right so bikes and scooters can pass you. I wish the trail had a couple of porta potties along the way for when you take long walks or runs. The evening is even more beautiful to walk...

I have taken my bike up to Lansing many times. Reminds me of the trails here in Essex County Ontario. Love the Lansing trail and Red Cedar, Lansing River pathway. Stop in town for a coffee, visit the market and head for Potter Park and Dietrich Park. Fun to rent kayaks on your visit too!! Easily spend an entire day in the area. If you are a Michigan fan look out because this is Spartan Town! Don't forget the HOP Cat for a nice pint of IPA...

Probably the only thing good about Lansing. If you have a bicycle you can get around town faster than the buses. Would be nice however if they put warning signs for closed off areas before you run into them. Potter Park Zoo is right on the trail. Scotts woods to Hawk Island section is a great place to go for a walk or run. The trail also connects to the Sycamore creek trail if you wanted to go to...
