COMMUNITIES JOINING TOGETHER

TART Trails and Top of Michigan Trails Council, together with Networks Northwest, are thrilled to introduce the Nakwema (nah-KWAY-mah) Trailway, formerly known as the Traverse City Charlevoix Trail. Nakwema, Ojibwe for “where paths connect,” passes through seven townships and three counties, offering the premier trail experience to explore our unique region through active transportation and non-motorized recreation. Nakwema pays homage to the people who first created these routes, and the lands and waters it winds through. Promoting a healthy environment, thriving economies, and resilient communities, the Trailway contributes to the existing vibrancy and vitality of northwest Lower Michigan. Learn more here!
