HNY19 Bike Trail

BAPMAN CREW and I have been hiding caches along the Metroparkway Trail for the last few years. We put this series of caches out each year in conjunction with the HNY events held on January 1st of each year. We hope you enjoy the caches on this trail we tried to put out a good variety of caches for your cacheing enjoyment. This is out tenth year for the event and the eleventh year for hiding HNY caches.

The Metro Parkway Trail—also known as the Freedom Trail—parallels the busy Metropolitan Parkway (16 Mile Road) through urban Macomb County. You'll find many street crossings throughout a mix of business and residential development; most are at-grade and have traffic signals.

The trail is comfortably wide, running between Harrison Township's Metro Beach Metropark and Schoenherr Road. You can continue north on a paved trail along Schoenherr to Utica Road and into Sterling Heights, where the trail links to the Clinton River Park Trail.

At the east end, the Metro Parkway Trail connects to the Clinton River Spillway Bike Path near Interstate 94. In Metro Beach Metropark, you'll find scenic views of Lake St. Clair and additional trails along the lake.

This year we added a geoart for your caching enjoyment and also ran the trail down to Gratiot Ave. to create a caching loop back over to Weligton Cresent Rd.. There were extra cache left over after creating the geoart, these are those caches.
