Wayfinding: Navigating Our Shared Landscape
Establishing a comprehensive signage system using the WMT Wayfinding Guide, ensuring every trail tells its own story and connects seamlessly to the larger network.
Lake Michigan Shoreline Trail
An ambitious vision to complete the trail along Lake Michigan’s magnificent shoreline, bridging gaps from the Indiana state line to Manistee. This isn’t just a trail—it’s a journey along one of Michigan’s most breathtaking landscapes.
Central State Trail (Interurban)
Reimagining the historic Interurban Rail Corridor from Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids, this trail will close a critical gap in our statewide trail vision. We’re not just building a path; we’re honoring our region’s transportation heritage.
Grand River Greenway
Supporting Ottawa and Kent County’s efforts to create a continuous trail along the Grand River from Grand Haven to Grand Rapids—and beyond. The river has always been our region’s lifeline, and now our trails will celebrate that connection.
Muskegon to Fremont Connection
Closing the gap between these two communities, creating new opportunities for connection, recreation, and regional unity.
West Michigan Wayfinding Guide
The Regional Wayfinding Guide is complete and ready for implementation. We are happy to help you implement the guide to help connect our trails in a whole new way. Thank you for all of the volunteers who were able to make this project possible.
