TART Trails

Completed in 2012, the trail connects the former Traverse City State Hospital and Mall Trail to infrastructure along Silver Lake Road, including a Meijer store, a YMCA, and Traverse City West Middle School.

[8] Located within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Leelanau County, this trail runs for 20 miles (32 km), paralleling M-22 and M-109.

The TART in Town is a series of streets in downtown Traverse City deemed safe for bicycle traffic.

Bicycle Route 35, it is a paved trail that extends from the west side of Traverse City (M-22) to Acme (M-72).

Most, but not all, of the trail follows the 19th-century roadbed of the former Chicago and West Michigan Railway, also paralleling Grand Traverse Bay.

[15] The Vasa Pathway system is a series of unpaved recreational trails east of Traverse City.
