Connecting the Dots

Acme Trail opens

Oct. 22, 2022

After years of patiently waiting, walkers, runners, and bikers in Acme can now enjoy the first official segment of the Nakwema Trailway, an exciting and ambitious TART Trails project that will one day connect Traverse City and Charlevoix. The 2-mile Acme Connector Trail is the southernmost leg of the trail, and its ribbon cutting is scheduled for Oct. 25. The trail brings together two previously separate TART segments, linking the TART’s previous terminus at Bunker Hill Road to the intersection of M-72 and US-31 in Acme, with a section of the trail headed east toward the Acme Meijer. While the trail is open, TART officials say “finishing touches are still in progress,” which “includes a closed section that will eventually pass through the KOTI development.” (KOTI is a planned residential development near Acme Creek.)
