Project Goals
1
Develop a non-motorized trailway between the TART Trails and the Top of Michigan Trails Council networks, connecting multiple communities and over twenty-five protected natural areas throughout three counties to create a 415+ mile trail network in northern Lower Michigan.
2
Create opportunities for everyone to participate in active living and healthy lifestyles through year-round outdoor recreation and active transportation, while providing access to the region’s iconic shoreline and showcasing the region’s phenomenal cultural and natural resources.
3
Provide an extraordinary resource for residents of and visitors to northwest Lower Michigan to spur economic development opportunities, enhance regional identity and strengthen vibrant communities.
Nakwema Trailway relies on the generous contributions of donors. Investing in trails is investing in people.

Mark your calendars for a fun event held during Memorial Day Weekend! Registration is NOW OPEN for the 9th Annual Stafford's Hospitality Top of Michigan Festival of Races. Race options include a 5k, 10k, and, half marathon.
The course runs along the Little Traverse Wheelway, a non-motorized trail that runs from Charlevoix, through Petoskey/Bay Harbor and onto Harbor Springs. This year, the course will be out and backs from Petoskey's waterfront. The trail is an excellent venue for runners. The trail is relatively flat and has spectacular views of the Little Traverse Bay.
Event proceeds benefit the Top of Michigan Trails Council and the Petoskey High School Track and Cross Country teams. Click the link to learn more. runsignup.com/Race/MI/Petoskey/TopofMichiganFestivalofRaces
