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 great example of how non-motorized trails make connections to great people and places without having to get in the car!
A huge round of applause and a giant thank you to this group of environmental stewards for addressing a heavy lift at Maple Bay, a future corridor of the Nakwema Trailway. An inspiring effort in caring for this land and the folks lucky enough to enjoy it.
Three cheers for Acme Township!

There is a saying in the world of non-motorized trail development that goes something along the lines of, “first the community builds the trail, then the trail builds the community.”
Thank you to all who came to celebrate the official ribbon cutting of the Nakwema Trailway! This first of many connections to come.
