Glenn East Trail

Trail Overview

Glenn East Trail is a classical Michigan bi-directional trail within the Waterloo State Recreation Area. Located off Mount Hope Road, shortly off Highway 94, you'll find the west end of the trail, making it easily accessible. Starting from the western end, you'll start out on a dirt/gravel road next to a Waterloo Hunt Club sign. This is also labeled as a Natural Beauty Road. Shortly into the route, the trail transitions into a thick section of trees with some areas of tall grass. As you navigate down the trail, you'll twist and turn while being surrounded by some beautiful scenery. This section has many areas where you could enter the Waterloo Pinckney Trail on foot or hop on a horse and head out on the Waterloo Rec Area Equestrian Trail. Be sure to take it all in and TREAD LIGHTLY so future generations can enjoy these public spaces. Also, keep your eyes open for wildlife! This trail will surely keep you entertained. Like most of Michigan's offroad trails, conditions are dependent on the weather. Recent rainfall can cause unfavorable conditions on the trail, including downed trees, mud holes, and washouts. Come Prepared! This is not a difficult trail at all, butit contains a lot of fun with scenic views. This trail also gives access to other great trails nearby. The eastern end of the trail dead-ends at the Maute Trail, so check that out right after!
