Nothing is better than a walk, bike ride, (or even winter snowshoe outing) along a scenic, natural trail. Unless, of course, that trail is connected to miles upon miles of other trails, all ripe for the exploring. That's why a huge part of our mission is not only to forge new paths, but to connect existing ones - bringing together the people and the places we love.

Prior to using a trail, please evaluate thh conditions for safety concerns. Michigan weather can pose a threat to you as well as our trails. Be sure to know your route in case you encounter poor trail conditions, and then be sure to let us know!
Report a Concern

Yield to Others
