About Us

Wheels on Rails was founded by Macie Hefron. Her love for the outdoors, cycling, and railroads led her to rail biking.

The original goal was to open wherever she could find tracks, and in searching for a location, she came to the realization that many Michigan railroads have been ripped out and made into bike paths. With years of research and several phone calls, trips, and perseverance, she was able to finally offer her very first rail biking excursions in her home state of Michigan. Macie wanted to offer a unique experience in a beautiful setting that guests will remember for a lifetime. She encourages you to try something completely new, as rail biking isn’t the most common of activities, in the hope that you’ll fall in love with it as much as she did!

If you see her around, be sure to say hello!

Rail-Biking:

Special manufactured bikes that ride on a railroad track. All our bikes are 4-seater and don’t require much effort at all, other than pedaling. . All you have to do is pedal, chat, and have a good time :) Come try one of them out sometime! We hope to see you soon!
