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 on the trail.
