Trail Overview
King Brighton Trail is a really fun and exciting 2-mile bidirectional trail right outside the Brighton State Rec Area. Located just west of Chilson, right off Brighton Road, this trail is easily accessible. Starting from the northern end, you'll start out on a mostly dirt road for the first mile or so. Then the trail transitions into a combination of dirt and gravel into a thick section of trees with lush vegetation edging the trail. As you continue down the trail, you'll twist and turn as you change in elevation. This is a pretty straightforward trail, but don't sleep on this one. 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 off-road 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, but it contains a lot of fun and beauty. This trail also gives access to other great trails nearby. The southern end of the trail finishes at Rec Trail, so be sure to check that one out as well. Regardless of the conditions of this trail, it's an exciting route to check out! As always, PLEASE TREAD LIGHTLY and be respectful of our public lands so future generations can have access to these trails!
