Michigan Trails & Greenways Alliance

Michigan’s trails are beautiful this time of year, with fresh green leaves on the trees and plenty of blooming wildflowers along the way.  Time to get out in the fresh air on your bike or on your own two feet.  Train for the Michigander, our bicycle tour on trails and connecting roads or celebrate National Trails Day with one of these events.  The video below is the Betsie Valley Trail segment along the shoreline of Crystal Lake.  Use the “Trails Finder” and “Trail Links” tabs to learn more about this trail and others in Michigan.
