Work was completed this year to connect North Muskegon to the Trailhead at McMillan Road adding 4.6 miles to the 7 mile North End that connects to the Whitehall Trail. From there you can ride another 3 miles to The Hart-Montague Trailhead. (Refer to our Maps.)

The new Trail starts at the Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve on Lake Street and travels North along Whitehall Road, then East along Giles Road where it enters the woods on its way North. At the River Road crossing you pass by Berry Junction, which the Trail was named after. Then further North to the McMillan Road Trailhead.

From McMillan Road North to White Lake Road you are on the 7 mile Rails to trail section.

Riding South from the Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve Trailhead, you are on the Lakeshore Trail which takes you to Pere Marquette Park at Lake Michigan.
