Friends of the Paint Creek Trail

The Paint Creek Trail, managed by the Paint Creek Trailways Commission, is Michigan's first non-motorized rail-to-trail, stretching 8.9 miles through northeast Oakland County. Open to the public since 1983, this linear park attracts over 100,000 visitors annually, offering a scenic route that connects Rochester, Rochester Hills, Oakland Township, Orion Township, and the Village of Lake Orion.

With an 8-foot wide trail designed for non-motorized recreation, the Paint Creek Trail promotes outdoor activities while preserving the historical significance of its former life as a Penn Central Railroad line. The trail also hosts several community events, including the annual Labor Day Bridge Walk Run, and continually evolves through public input and master planning initiatives.
