Project Goals
1
Develop a non-motorized trailway between the TART Trails and the Top of Michigan Trails Council networks, connecting multiple communities and over twenty-five protected natural areas throughout three counties to create a 415+ mile trail network in northern Lower Michigan.
2
Create opportunities for everyone to participate in active living and healthy lifestyles through year-round outdoor recreation and active transportation, while providing access to the region’s iconic shoreline and showcasing the region’s phenomenal cultural and natural resources.
3
Provide an extraordinary resource for residents of and visitors to northwest Lower Michigan to spur economic development opportunities, enhance regional identity and strengthen vibrant communities.
Nakwema Trailway relies on the generous contributions of donors. Investing in trails is investing in people.

Just last week, Torch Lake Township hosted a Community Open House to gather input on the Township Master Plan. We were thrilled to see such a strong turnout and hear frequent mentions of the Nakwema Trailway, along with widespread support for improved biking and walking facilities and community gathering spaces.
We look forward to seeing this community input incorporated into the Township's Master Plan.

The Nakwema Trailway team is incredibly grateful for a lovely summer full of trail progress and engineering and support from the local communities along the corridor. From Charlevoix to Torch Lake to Elk Rapids, we feel the anticipation growing for safer, more enjoyable movement!
Let’s continue this great momentum as the leaves begin to change.
