Manistee Non-Motorized Trail Park
Campaign Services
The Shoreline Cycling
Club (http://www.shorelinecyclingclub.org/) and the City of
Manistee's Non-Motorized
Transportation Committee (NMOT) are working together to develop trails on the 170 acre property that the City of Manistee owns
off of M55 about 3 miles from the M55/US31 intersection. The plan is to build
walking/running, mountain bike, and cross country ski trails as well as a
mountain bike skills park on the property.
Developing this trail system will server three primary
functions:
- Provide close access for local community members so
they can more easily enjoy these fitness activities.
- Get more local community members involved in hiking,
running, cycling and skiing by providing a safe, easy and accessible way
of trying these healthy life-long activities.
- Draw tourists to the City of
Manistee area and its neighboring
communities.
Manistee
County has many
premium trails already bringing many tourists to the area. These trails
are on the perimeter of the County and we are hoping that by developing
this trail system can draw them to population center of the county thereby
providing a positive economic impact locally. Additionally the trail
system should draw new visitors to the area that would not have come
otherwise.
Details of our proposal are listed in the draft
copy of our trail plan: http://www.manisteemtb.org
