Spotlight on Our Trails

Stuff We Love
April 26, 2025

Northern Michigan’s trails are a point of pride for residents. Last week, the state of Michigan recognized what we’ve long known: that these trails are some of the best in the state. The Betsie Valley Trail, a 22-mile pathway extending from Frankfort through Elberta and Beulah to Thompsonville in Benzie County, and Chain of Lakes Water Trail, a 100-plus mile inland water trail made up of 12 lakes and interconnected rivers in northwest Michigan, both received special recognition as the 2025 Pure Michigan Trail winners. The designation is a partnership between the Pure Michigan campaign and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. “This year’s Pure Michigan Trails have broad community support,” said DNR State Trails Coordinator Tim Novak. “Their respective organizations understand and support the economic and social impacts of trails and how important they are to improving quality of life for residents and visitors.”
