Department of Natural Resources -Hiking at least 5 miles of the B2B trail 🙂
TART Trails in Traverse City completed a 2019 study to show the benefits of trails to a community. Check it out!
"The extensive study showed that trails create a sense of community, add an extra layer of tourism, support a health conscious atmosphere year-round, and extend the seasonality of many businesses, among many other benefits." See their full study here: traversetrails.org/tart-trails-benefits-study/
For these reasons and many more, we are excited to have more trails in our region. #b2btrail
