What is a Trails Plan?
The connectivity and accessibility of our region's parks, trails, and water amenities play a crucial role in making the Greater Lansing area a competitive place to live and play. Trails are more than a recreational asset - they bring economic prosperity and other benefits to our communities and to those who walk and bike in our region. Trails:
-
provide low-cost recreational opportunities for families and other users
-
boost spending at local businesses and improve tourism
-
make communities more attractive places to live and increase property values
-
serve as amenities to attract and retain top talent
-
connect users to community assets and public spaces
-
encourage exercise and other healthy outdoor activities
-
offer an alternative means of transportation and connect our broader multimodal system
-
promote conservation, revitalization, and purposeful development of outdoor assets and spaces
Tri-County has partnered with the U.S. National Park Service to create a plan for our regional trails system - one that works to improve the quality of life for our region's residents and take advantage of our region's central geographic location to bolster Mid-Michigan as a hub for local businesses, communities, and visitors.
