The Western Michigan Chapter’s segment of the North Country Trail is from the Lake-Newaygo county line west of M-37 to the Kent-Barry county line northeast of Middleville.
Here, the trail winds through the southern third of the Manistee National Forest; the Lowell and Rogue River State Game Areas; multiple Kent County parks; the NCTA Trail Towns of White Cloud and Lowell; and along the Flat, Rogue, and Muskegon Rivers. Western Michigan Chapter volunteers maintain their segment in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, Kent County Parks, and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, as well as others.
