BATTLE CREEK LINEAR PARK TRAIL

After an appointment in Ann Arbor, Michigan it was time to head home to Chicago. Along the way I was looking for a place to park my car, and take a hike before darkness arrived. With some sleuthing on the internet, I found the Battle Creek Linear Park Trail.  I parked my car and set out to do some urban hiking. By the time I completed my hike, it was completely dark, and I had accomplished what I set out to do - that is walk (at least) ten miles. My hike turned out to be eleven miles. Even better.

Battle Creek Linear Park

Health and wellness have been major contributors to Battle Creek's history, including the invention of breakfast cereal! Citizens and visitors alike enjoy the Battle Creek Linear Park. With more than 28 miles of paved trails it is a great way to spend a day, or a weekend, exploring the history and scenery of America's Cereal City.

Developed in several phases over the past 20 years, this path was one of Michigan's first non-motorized, multi-use trails. In 2014 it underwent a $1.3 million facelift and expansion, including asphalt resurfacing and replacement of several boardwalks. Whether you run, ride a bike, or just want to go for a leisurely stroll, the Battle Creek Linear Park offers a pleasant excursion for everyone.
