Kalamazoo River Trail grows, gives bikers, walkers, runners more miles to move
Come April 1, work will begin to add nearly six miles to the The Kalamazoo River Trail, the Kalamazoo Gazette reports. The latest project in a larger overall plan to enhance the trail comes at a cost of $1.7 million and will extend the stretch from Mosel Avenue in Parchment to D Avenue in Cooper Township. It will take users along the river and past Markin Glen County Park and the Kalamazoo Nature Center. The trail should be completed at the end of August. Excerpt: Several miles of paved trail will be built starting next month while another part of the trail that was finished in November will be open for the first time in warm weather. By summer’s end, slightly more than 14 miles of the trail will be open to the public. It will eventually be 35 miles long. “It’s all coming together,” Kalamazoo County Parks Director David Rachowicz said of the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail, which started being built two years ago.
