The Traverse Area Recreation and Transportation (TART) Trail, Inc. provides 55 miles of biking trails in the Grand Traverse Bay area.
We pick up the trail less than two miles from the RV resort and it is a 7 mile bike ride to downtown Traverse City on mostly flat paved paths which are mostly away from traffic. We have yet to see a train pass on this railroad track. I've been waiting to hear "
choo choo", but no luck yet!
We have this Bay view for a mile or so along the trail. This is East Grand Traverse Bay, and the road is the main road for driving into Traverse City from the resort.
This is the only stretch we share with motorist.
This flower is in many places along the trail.
Over the head shot. One of three wooden bridges we cross on the way to town.
Just in front of the riders ahead of us, the trail veers to the right off the road.
The Bay is so big, and we love seeing the birds floating on the water. Currently, there are 6 swans making it their home or stopover.
We are entering the downtown Bay area. We are about two blocks north of the main shopping area and restaurants in downtown
This is the only climb we make on the entire Tart trail from Acme where to begin to downtown.
Traverse Bay is to the left and across this divided highway to the right is downtown.
The Marina.
One of the beach areas. The Tart trail is for non-motorized use--biking, walking, skating.
Beyond the East Bay, is the Mission Peninsula--a peninsula of rolling hills, with
vineyards, cherry and apple orchards. Mission Peninsula has West Grand Traverse Bay on one side of it, and East Grand Traverse Bay on the other.
