Paint Creek Trail is an 8.9-mile (14.3 km)[2] rail trail linear park in northeast Oakland County, Michigan.[1] The course of the park generally follows Paint Creek, a stream that flows southeast towards the Clinton River.
The trail is composed of crushed limestone and has a slope of 2% going south to north,[2] and has a width of 8 feet.[3] The trail is administered and funded through an inter-government commission representing the townships that the trail services.[4][5]
Paint Creek Trail was named a National Recreation Trail in 2006.[5]
