Connect People. Create a Safer Future.
Imagine being able to walk, bike, run, or roll safely between neighborhoods, schools, parks, and businesses without worrying about traffic. That’s exactly what the Three Mile Trail will provide. With your help, we can make it happen.
TART Trails is launching this crowdfunding campaign to help construct the Three Mile Trail, a transformative new shared-use pathway that will connect people, expand transportation options, and improve quality of life for generations to come.
Every gift brings us one step closer to breaking ground.
Why the Three Mile Trail Matters
The Three Mile Trail will be more than a trail, it’s a community connection.
2 miles of new trail will:
- Provide a safe, accessible route for people of all ages and abilities
- Increase access to outdoor recreation and the natural beauty of our region
- Connect neighborhoods to schools, parks, businesses, and 100+ miles of existing TART trails
- Encourage walking and biking as healthy, affordable transportation options
- Reduce traffic congestion and vehicle emissions
Whether you’re commuting to work or school, walking with family, training for your next race, or simply enjoying northern Michigan, the Three Mile Trail will make our community safer and more connected.
Join the Movement
TART Trails and community partners have spent decades building a regional trail network that brings people together, protects natural spaces, and strengthens communities. The Three Mile Trail is the next important link in that vision. Your contribution isn’t simply funding pavement, it’s creating opportunities for safer transportation, healthier lifestyles, stronger local connections, and lasting community impact.
The Three Mile Trail is about creating a healthier, more connected future, and that future begins with community support. Together, we can build a trail that will serve thousands of people every year.
Our goal is to raise $75,000 through this campaign to help fund construction of the first mile of the Three Mile Trail, which will go from the current terminus at South Airport Road to the Looyenga Family Trailhead at Mitchell Creek Meadows.
Every mile begins with a single step. Every trail begins with a community that believes in what’s possible.
