And welcome to the North
Country National Scenic Trail in southwestern Michigan.
Our chapter links trails
from Barry County (just southeast of Grand Rapids), thru the northeast corner
of Kalamazoo County, and then thru all of
Calhoun County.
Walk the Linear Pathway
through the heart of the World's Cereal City, in Battle Creek. Visit the
exhibits in the Kellogg Forest and Kellogg Farms. See and hear Trumpeter
Swans at the world famous Kellogg Bird Sanctuary.
Hike
over lush
farmland and tramp the back roads of a part of Michigan where there are so many
lakes they are referred to by number. Sit on the benches and while away a
few minutes or hours in the sleepy little villages of Augusta, Delton, and
Prairieville.
Walk through miles of hardwood forest in the Barry State
Game Area, the Yankee Springs Recreational Area, and the Middleville State Game
Area. Walk along what once was a busy railroad route along the Thornapple
River -- now the Paul Henry Thornapple Trail south of Middleville.
Whether you are taking an
afternoon walk or a several day hike, the North Country National Scenic Trail welcomes you!
