SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. (WOOD) — The first trail in the Great Lake-to-Lake Trails system welcomed bicyclists Friday.
Route No. 1 stretches about 275 miles from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron, mostly avoiding roads as it crosses through nine counties.
“The long-term objective is to really have a 100 percent off-road trail for the entire 275 miles,” said Scott Reinert with the South Haven Visitors Bureau.
“We’re about two-thirds of the way there right now and so as we keep working towards that objective.”
Riders gathered in South Haven Friday morning for the unveiling of a buoy brought in from Port Huron that marks the start of the trail. A second buoy marks the end of the trail.
