Paint Creek Trail, National Recreation Trail in Oakland County, Michigan
The Paint Creek Trail extends 8.9 miles through Rochester, Rochester Hills, Oakland Township, Orion Township, and Lake Orion with a limestone surface path.
Established in 1983 on a former Penn Central Railroad line, Paint Creek Trail became the first non-motorized rail-to-trail conversion in Michigan.
The trail connects visitors to local establishments including Paint Creek Cider Mill and Goodison Cider Mill, which represent Michigan agricultural traditions.
Multiple access points with designated parking areas are available along the route, while trail hours extend from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM throughout the year.
