Chief Noonday Chapter

Section

The Chief Noonday Chapter’s segment of the North Country Trail is from the Kent-Barry county line, northeast of Middleville, to the Calhoun-Hillsdale county line.

Here, the trail winds through state game and recreation areas; across the Fort Custer National Cemetary; along the Thornapple River; and into the NCTA Trail Towns of Middleville, Augusta, Battle Creek, Marshall, and Albion. The Chief Noonday Chapter volunteers maintain their segment in partnership with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, as well as others.
