News...the City of Kalamazoo is installing a "Pop-Up" trail across Downtown Kalamazoo on the weekend of June 18, 2015. The trail will be temporary with cones and barrels. It will allow trail riders and the City to try it out and to see what needs to be done differently. The trail will connect to the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail that currently ends at Westnedge Avenue, on the west side of Downtown to Harrison Street where the trail picks up on the east side of Kalamazoo.

Did you know that the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail connects directly to the Kal Haven Trail and that you can bicycle from the City of Kalamazoo to Lake Michigan? The trail is separated from roads so families have a more comfortable ride with less traffic. See you on the trail!
