Building a World-Class Trail Experience

Connecting People, Trails, and Communities in West Michigan.

Building Connections. Building Community.

Building Connections. Building Community.

Thanks to our dedicated donors, in 2023 we were able to:

  • Hold two Trail Summits with over 100 Municipal & Trails Leaders to plan for the future of Trails in W Michigan

  • Help pave the remaining miles of the White Pine Trail

  • Create a Regional Wayfinding Guide

  • Reach thousands of trail enthusiasts through our newsletters and social media

Did you know that it costs:

  • $250 - or about $21 a month - to repave 12 feet of trail

  • $500 - or about $42 a month - to build 4 feet of new trail

  • $1,000 - or about $85 a month - to help provide needed support to further develop regional communications and outreach

  • $2,500 - or about $208 a month - to help provide necessary, unified wayfinding signage on a regional trail

The Grand Region Wayfinding Project

If you want to take a road trip to California, you know that you can trust the road signs to get you there. The signage on our trails should do the same. Learn how West Michigan Trails is working towards that goal.
