Blazing the Boyne City to Charlevoix Trail

April 27, 2024

We’re getting ever closer to an interconnected northern Michigan thanks to ongoing work on the Boyne City to Charlevoix Trail. According to the Top of Michigan Trails Council, the third phase of the trail is underway and slated for completion this year. The 2.36-mile segment begins at the north end of Springwater Beach Road and continues on the Lake Charlevoix side of Boyne City-Charlevoix Road through Bay Township. Before the trail meets the Village of Horton Bay, it will connect to the road. The remaining phases of the trail—segments four and five—encompass another 6+ miles of trail to fully link Boyne City and Charlevoix. Fundraising is underway for the remaining segments, though no firm dates are set for groundbreaking. Stay up to date with the trail’s progress at trailscouncil.org.
