About TART Trails
TART Trails, Inc was formed in 1998 when four individual trail groups in the Traverse City area united to create a stronger force for recreation and alternative transportation in northwest Michigan. TART TrailsĀ is dedicated to providing recreation and transportation opportunities as well as preserving open space corridors through a network of trails. TART Trails is a non-profit organization that builds trails, advocates for active living and outdoor recreation. Our work includes negotiating easements, hosting annual events that promote healthy lifestyles, and defending cyclist and pedestrian interests
Led by a staff of five and a volunteer board of 16 members, TART Trails’ mission is to enrich the Traverse area by providing a network of trails, bikeways and pedestrian ways; and encouraging their use.
