The Musketawa Trail is a 26 mile paved (12 foot wide) all-season linear park constructed on an abandoned rail line between Marne and Muskegon. Ottawa County Parks manages the 10 mile section of trail from Marne to the Muskegon County line between April 1 and November 30. Trail uses include hiking, biking, roller-blading, snowmobiling and horseback riding. The Musketawa Trail was acquired and developed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources with assistance from the Friends of the Musketawa Trail.

For more information, visit the Friends web site at www.musketawatrail.org or contact the county parks office. A brochure is also available. Questions regarding snowmobile use and trail conditions, contact Oscar Reed at (231) 744-5731 (West Shore Snowmobile Council representative).

Dogs are permitted on the Musketawa Trail. For the safety and enjoyment of all park guests, pets must be on ten foot leashes and under control. Owners must clean up after their pet and dispose of waste in a trash receptacle. Recognizing that most dogs enjoy running and playing freely, many Ottawa County Open Space Lands allow dogs year-round off leash.
