The trail is paved and easy to walk or bike ride. It is a pleasure to walk with no cars. The trail is well maintained.
From the old train depot, that is now a brewery, by the new depot, to a serene stream & past the bay, and thru downtown---you can see most of the city from this trail. Lots a bikers, joggers & walkers year round use this trail. Perfect!
One of the best rail trails in Michigan . If your any kind of a cyclist this one is a must do . An easy ride for all ages .
The best view of Traverse from the west side is from the 7th floor of Munson Hospital. Go in the main entrance and use elevator A - proceed to the 7th floor and look out. Fantastic views from the waiting room and at the end of the hall where the rooms are.
The trails in TC are super convenient. We took our bikes on the BATA (public trans) Bike N Ride Bus up to Suttons Bay. We biked back on the Leelanau Trail, stopping at Tandem Ciders, Black Star Farms and Shady Lane Cellars on our way back. Great Ride!!
There are so many wonderful things about Traverse City but certainly close to the top is the TART trail. This long winding flat bike trail goes along the beautiful bay and more. It's part of what makes TC TC.
Visited Traverse City in September and camped in the State Park. Park is located next to Tart trail which will take you numerous places around the city and beyond. Trail extends from north of town, to the business district to locations on the peninsula. Makes getting around the area considerably easier and there are no parking problems on a bike. Beautiful beaches and quaint little town.
You can ride your bike from Acme to Suttons Bay on a paved, well cared for trail. Get a map and see lots of places to park your car and pick up the trail in many areas.
Jodi was great & the new Mercedes Van was so comfortableWe were treated like royalty. Will book her again next year for our annual wine tour weekend
Can get a little crowded, but a good way to get around. Keep an eye out for "serious" bikers if you have small children on bikes or are walking. They can tend to be pretty intense.
