Welcome to West Michigan Trails, where the future of our regional trail network is taking shape through collaborative efforts!
We are thrilled to announce the development of the Master Trails Plan for West Michigan—a regional initiative covering 18 counties. This comprehensive effort aims to identify existing trails, determine essential infrastructure requirements, and set strategic priorities for the years ahead. Your participation, along with extensive input from trail stakeholders, is crucial in shaping the trails that connect our communities across West Michigan. Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this exciting journey together.
Project Updates
The project kicked off in October with the West Michigan Trail Summit. The event brought together stakeholders from across the region to discuss current and planned regional trails, emphasizing the importance of connectivity and consistent trail wayfinding.
The Spring Trail Summit wrapped up in March, where we meet with stakeholder sub-region groups to present the trail impact analysis and discuss priorities. Links to the presentation and meeting summaries are available for download at the bottom of the page.
