The Days River Pathway, located near Gladstone, provides a variety of terrain. With 9 miles of trails and five possible loops, the trail provides an opportunity to travel through a beautifully dense forest and along the Days River. The trailhead is 5.3 miles northwest of Gladstone via M-35 North and Days River 24.5 Road. The Days River Nature Trail is nearby. 

Mountain bikers can enjoy a dedicated 3-mile single-track trail that starts at the trailhead, with more expansion planned.

The trail is groomed for cross-country skiing in the winter.
