Little Traverse Wheelway
A paved trail of about 42 km along the shore of Little Traverse Bay, linking Charlevoix, Petoskey, Bay View, and Harbor Springs.
Most of the trail follows an old railroad line along the bay. It is nearly flat the whole way and passes beaches, wetlands, and woodland, with views across the water to Harbor Springs. The most popular section runs east from the Petoskey waterfront park through Bay View to Petoskey State Park, about 6 km one way. Heading west, you can ride all the way to Charlevoix. Bike rental shops are found in town, and you can also walk a short stretch just to enjoy the lake views. The coordinates refer to the Petoskey waterfront section.
