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.

Nothing says springtime like center line striping!
Last week, we added some finishing touches to the Deepwater Connector, which is our southernmost portion of the Nakwema Trailway. Center lines help all trail users as they move around a corner or a highly trafficked section of trail!
Beyond center lines, we also clarified the pedestrian crossing at the intersection of M-72 and US-31.
Get out and enjoy!

Thank you to Pine Hill Nursery for hosting an excellent community event this past weekend! The Top of Michigan Trails Council and TART Trails staff had a great time connecting with some new and some familiar faces as we talked about the Nakwema Trailway. We shared status updates on our three main priorities in Elk Rapids, Eastport, and Charlevoix!
We'll be sure to see you at the next one!
