The Leelanau Trail offers a scenic 17-mile paved route from Traverse City to the charming village of Suttons Bay. Following an old railroad corridor, the trail winds through rolling farmland, vineyards, and forests, with glimpses of Lake Michigan. It's a favorite for cyclists, joggers, and walkers seeking a flat, well-maintained path. Along the way, you'll find rest stops, wineries, and the quaint town of Suttons Bay with its shops and eateries. The trail also connects to the TART Trail network.
