Scenic 26+ mile bike trail - Little Traverse Wheelway in Petoskey MI
The Little Traverse Wheelway is 26 miles of dedicated trail, from downtown Charlevoix to downtown Harbor Springs.
The “Bike Path”, as it is locally called, runs 26 miles from Charlevoix to Harbor Springs in Charlevoix and Emmet Counties. The trail is mostly dedicated and paved in asphalt. It is currently the best developed and most suburban of our trunk line trails. The part between Petoskey’s Bayfront Park to Petoskey State Park follows closely the path of the original Little Traverse Wheelway that stretched from Petoskey to Harbor Springs in the 1880s and ‘90s. A gate over the trail at the east end of Bayfront Park proclaims “No Teaming or Driving,” and replicates the original gate that stood at nearly the same spot. This gate is a reminder of a time when people were prohibited from riding horses or horse-drawn carriages on the trail. Two other identical gates have been built to the west on Petoskey’s portion of the trail.
In late 2008 construction was completed on the 1.4 mile “Resort Bluffs” segment between East Park in Bay Harbor and Magnus Park in Petoskey. This new trail replaces the “road shoulder “segment that had forced users to ride along US 31.

Evening Bike Ride on the Little Traverse Wheelway - Petoskey, Michigan
In September 2015 we spent a weekend in Petoskey, Michigan with some good friends. One evening we rode our bikes from the condo near Petoskey State Park over to the Petoskey Pierhead light at the city marina. I recorded this video during our 4.5-mile ride back to the condo on the scenic Little Traverse Wheelway.

Let's Visit Petoskey, MI
In this video, I head back from the Upper Peninsula to head home. Before doing so, I head down US 31 from Mackinaw City down to Petoskey, MI along Little Traverse Bay (which goes out to Lake Michigan). I check out some of the scenes along the bay including a walkway. A great view of the bay as well as downtown Petoskey can be seen from the walkway.
This was a great last stop before heading back home!
