TC SATURDAY MARKET - CLINCH PARK & MARINA

This Pedestrian Underpass, a tunnel under a 4 lane parkway alongside the bay front beaches, connects  the Farmers Market to the city marina and Clinch Park on the west arm of Grand Traverse Bay.

In the tunnel walls there are interesting traditional paintings of wildlife from the Chippewa, Ojibwa and Pottawatomie tribes that lived here as late as 100 years ago.  These native tribes still own property and live in the area, but are now integrated to some extent in the communities.

This is a view of Clinch Park with one of the beaches in the background along West Grand Traverse Bay.
The marina below is right next to Clinch Park.
