North Bank Trail

The North Bank Trail is an 18-mile non-motorized, multipurpose pathway located along the former Grand Trunk Western Railroad right-of-way from Spring Lake to Marne, MI. A seven-mile stretch from the Village of Spring Lake to a Trailhead on 112th Avenue in Nunica has been completed, providing connections to other regional trails, including the Lakeside Trail in Spring Lake and the Spoonville Trail in Crockery Township. The Spoonville Trail offers access to the South Side of the
Grand River, where it meets the Grand River Explorers Trail. It also connects to local pathways in Spring Lake Township and Ferrysburg, offering a link to US Bike Route 35, which runs along Michigan’s west coast from New Buffalo to Sault Ste. Marie.

Future phases of the North Bank Trail will connect Nunica to Coopersville and the Musketawa Trailhead on 8th Avenue in Marne. Ultimately the trail will be a regional link between the beaches of Lake Michigan and the Grand Rapids Metro Area.
