Reviews
The trail was very nice. It was very long with plenty of walking space.
The best cider mill in Metro Detroit.
The river is over flowing from all the rain and is moving at rapid speeds. If you kayak down the river you wouldn’t have to even paddle. The water does flow out onto the trail in sections but the trails are still nice. The main trail is wide and a flat easy walk. You can go on the off shoots for more adventures.
Yates hands down has the best donuts. There’s always a long line for them because they’re the best! The paved trail is nice, but even better is the trail right next to the creek. Just make sure you have shoes with good grip. We visit this cider mill at least once a year.
My all time favourite spot….we stay near to this in cidermill village apartments….In summer I make sure to visit every week…I love the sound of Clinton river and the ducks and birds chirping….the trail is clean and well maintained….donuts and apple cider are really fresh and picnic spots are also there…kids will enjoy this as they will organize some farm animals to feed
