Project Goals
1
Develop a non-motorized trailway between the TART Trails and the Top of Michigan Trails Council networks, connecting multiple communities and over twenty-five protected natural areas throughout three counties to create a 415+ mile trail network in northern Lower Michigan.
2
Create opportunities for everyone to participate in active living and healthy lifestyles through year-round outdoor recreation and active transportation, while providing access to the region’s iconic shoreline and showcasing the region’s phenomenal cultural and natural resources.
3
Provide an extraordinary resource for residents of and visitors to northwest Lower Michigan to spur economic development opportunities, enhance regional identity and strengthen vibrant communities.
Nakwema Trailway relies on the generous contributions of donors. Investing in trails is investing in people.

June 8? Or 18? Says both.
Join Art and Connection by taking in the splendor of a rare solar eclipse happening Monday, April 8! A total solar eclipse—when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, causing darkness in the sky.
The National Park Service notes that the only way to safely view an eclipse is through filters such as eclipse glasses, or during a total eclipse. Art and Connection will provide special eyewear to safely view this cosmic event, as well as food and refreshments and family friendly games and crafts!

Not long before we see the abundant greenery along our Acme Connector trail. 🌿 A section of trail running east toward the Acme Meijer and the Grand Traverse Town Center development. Our 2 mile trail helps residents and visitors safely access businesses, existing trails, and recreation opportunities. We're grateful to have the southernmost segment of the Nakwema Trailway complete for ALL to enjoy!
