Perch Lake TART Trails When you visit Traverse City on your next vacation or weekend getaway, make sure to set aside a day or two to explore the TART Trails. This paved 10.5-mile urban corridor from Greilickville to Williamsburg offers sweeping views of East and West Grand Traverse Bays. In Greilickville, you can also continue north 17 miles on the Leelanau Trail (see page 45). The TART trail follows the natural contours of the bay and serves as a backdoor connection to numerous hotels, restaurants and attractions along the way, including Traverse City State Park with its quarter mile of sugar beach. On this well-maintained trail, you’ll share your adventure with rollerbladers, cyclists, runners, and couples walking their dogs. The trail also passes by two other popular beach areas, West End Beach and Clinch Park Beach. Ride along the public marina at Clinch Park. The trail makes a loop under the Boardman River South of the downtown area, the trail connects with the 3-mile Boardman bridge on West Bay. Lake Trail near the Traverse City public library. You will need to ride through the parking lot on the south side of the library to connect with the trail. Explore the newest section along the northwest edge of Boardman Lake or venture south for a scenic tour along the eastern edge to Medalie Park. The east end of the TART trail starts near the intersection of Bates Road and M-72 in Williamsburg. You will need to travel south on Lautner Road and west on Bunker Hill Road to connect with the main trail near Acme. From Bunker Hill Road, you can travel a half mile south on Bartlett Road to the VASA Pathway Trailhead. The VASA Pathway is a State Forest natural area known for its nicely developed trail loops (3K, 5K, 10K, 25K) for running, hiking, mountain biking, fat biking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
