Description

In 2014, the 5.3 mile Calhoun County Trail was constructed along a parks corridor in Emmett Township. It begins where the Battle Creek Linear Path ends, then traverses various open space easements, Ott Preserve, Kimball Pines, and ends in Historic Bridge Park. Other sections of trail may be constructed, and when completed, will cross Calhoun County, connecting communities and providing residents with a safe place to walk, run, or bike. The Calhoun County Trailway is owned and managed by the parks department while the Calhoun County Trailway Alliance is responsible for raising the funds to maintain the Trailway through an endowment held at the Battle Creek Community Foundation.  

Accessibility

The non-motorized Trailway is suitable for pedestrians, wheel chairs, and bicycles and was built as an ADA compliant trail. Unfortunately, there are areas that will prove difficult for many due to the natural slopes in various places along the trail.
