Musketawa Trail

Bridge Along TrailThe Musketawa Trail is a 26 mile paved (12 foot wide) all-season linear park constructed on an abandoned rail line between Marne and Muskegon. Ottawa County Parks manages the 10 mile section of trail from Marne to the Muskegon County line between April 1 and November 30.
