Clinton River Trail

Work continues on The North Spur of the Clinton River Trail. This new trail spans from Michigan Ave to the Opdyke Trailhead in @cityofpontiacmi. This new section of trail is expected to open this year.

BIG UPDATE: Rochester Washouts Repair work begins January 19! Please utilize this detour route. The trail will be an active construction site with heavy equipment activity. Please respect closures for safety and efficiency. We expect repairs will continue through this spring.

@AuburnHillsMI will be closing the following trail segments for tree work: Phase 1: Jan 12 – 16 Adams Road to Auburn Road Phase 2: Jan 19 – 23 South Squirrel Road to I-75 Phase 3: Jan 26 – 30 I-75 to Opdyke Road Fines issued for violations. More info: facebook.com/share/p/14ZThA…

REMINDER: No FCRT meeting this month. Spend time with friends and family, and enjoy the trail. See you in 2026!

There's a new side path on the west side of Bagley St. in Pontiac! It's wider, smoother, and more continuous than the east sidewalk. Spanning from the CRT to South Blvd., it improves the temp. trail route. Thanks @cityofpontiacmi for investing in rec and active transport!

Wondering about the washout? Join us at the Monday, July 14th Rochester City Council meeting where Kristen Wiltfang from @oaklandcounty will present on all the progress. We'll post more details afterwards. Agenda: ci.rochester.mi.us/ArchiveCenter/…

Correction to a previous post: the @Rochester_MI machine was down for repair recently, so @RochesterHills stepped up and helped out with trimming along the trail. The pictured Rochester equipment is back up & running. We appreciate the cities collaborating to maintain the trail.

Shout out to @Rochester_MI for cutting back the brush that was encroaching on the Clinton River Trail near Diversion Street. Their commitment to the ongoing maintenance of the trail helps make this a valuable resource to the community. Thanks!

The last 2 FCRT meetings featured guest speakers from @michtrails and @mibicyclists. We heard about all the work these orgs do to promote cycling, trails, recreation, and active transportation in Michigan. Watch our social media for more guest speaker announcements.
