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.

A backcountry ski tour of Fisherman’s Island? Seems to be the perfect adventure for this winter wonderland. The future Nakwema Trailway will provide non-motorized access to this special state park, located just southwest of Charlevoix. Get out there and explore this park now, as we embrace this snowy landscape.

We love an oversized check presentation day!
This morning, TART Trails and Fustini's Oils & Vinegars celebrated a major investment into the Nakwema Trailway.
During the crowdfunding campaign this fall for the Deepwater Connector, the team at Fustini's Oils & Vinegars provided the extra boost we needed to reach our fundraising goal! The Deepwater Connector was completed in December with the final improvements taking place this spring.
This generous contribution is in honor of Bill and JoAnn Gardner.
