White Pine Trail

The White Pine Trail is Michigan’s longest rail/trail stretching a distance of just under 100 miles on the former Grand Rapids and Indiana rail bed.  The trail reaches from the north end of Grand Rapids to Cadillac.  Future trails will intersect the White Pine establishing it as the backbone of the Michigan rail/trail system. Click here for more information.
