This beautiful 14-mile trail currently exists only in the mind's eye. Conceptual engineering is already well along on a route that will follow the Charlevoix-Boyne City Road right of way through Young State Park and Horton Bay and connect to the Little Traverse Wheelway near the Charlevoix Country Club. It has been determined that Charlevoix County will own and maintain the trail. In 2008 grants were applied for on Phase One of the project (Boyne City to Horton Bay.)

Eventually, we are hoping to link Charlevoix with Elk Rapids and then south to a connection with the Traverse Area Recreation and Transportation Trails (TART) near Williamsburg.
