Celebrate Trails Day

On Saturday April 26th, West Michigan Trails will host a trail-wide scavenger hunt for the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s annual “Celebrate Trails Day.” We’ve also confirmed locations based around great trails within our region where you can stop in and visit us. We want to connect with you! We invite everyone to join us on Celebrate Trails Day and participate in the scavenger hunt for a chance to win our new trail-tracking sticker water bottle!

Building Connections. Building Community.

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.
