There are six hiking trails, and one for horseback riding, with horse rentals available. One of the hiking trails, Harrison Trace Trail, is paved, making it available for bikers and in-line skating. The longest of the trails is the Lawrence Creek Trail, which is a 4.2-mile (6.8 km), single-track trail for mountain biking and walking. [14]
Prior to the 1950s, the Canadian road to this crossing traversed a steep hill at the border, which caused problems for winter travelers. Around 1952, Canada excavated much of the hill and built a new inspection plaza on relatively level ground. This border crossing was closed in 1985 when I-95 was completed immediately to the north.

The remaining segment of the trail is a third phase for a dedicated trail along 68th Street and Clay Avenue to bridge the gap between Clyde Park and Division avenues remains incomplete. This 1.5-mile-long (2.4 km) segment was projected to cost between $750,000 and $1.5 million in 2008.
Planning for a non-motorized trail along the Huron River began in the 1980s, with a City of Ann Arbor study for a "Huron River Greenway." [4] The Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation Commission took over the project in the late 1990s, and by 2001, the Border-to-Border Trail was envisioned as a 35-mile (56 km) trail from Hudson Mills Metropark to Ford Lake.
Michigan was the first state to complete a border-to-border Interstate Highway in 1960 with the completion of I-94. [81] The last gravel state highway was paved in the early 1960s as well; bids were let in March 1962 to finish paving M-48 in Chippewa County .
At this point, the trail transitions to sidewalks and sharrows through the village until South Maple St and Kinsey St, where the trail resumes its southeastward course. The trail then turns east to cross M-37 before quickly returning south to rejoin the embankment, continuing southeast to the county line at 108th St. [6]
At the same time, additional county roads were upgraded to state highways, extending the western M-61 to US 127 in Harrison. [10] [11] The gap between Harrison and Gladwin was eliminated in 1940 when the roadway was built between the two towns. [12] [13] At the end of the 1950s, M-61's designation was removed between M-115 and US 131.
