Reviewed 2026-10-22. MDOT names the developed trail, while RTC and the actual district map distinguish separated pieces from shared auto-lane connections. The eastern 1.5-mile Waterwood–SR471 piece is selected; the 2.9-mile system figure is not continuous traffic-free mileage. Current posted work and access controls govern; no same-day all-clear is claimed. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
Map and Directions
Use the named public start and its posted parking signs. The map reference identifies the facility or selected trail area; it is not a surveyed parking stall or navigable route line. Bicycle and e-bike rules can differ; only ordinary bicycle use is established unless noted.
