The potential exists in the Lowell Area to connect several important community elements such as parks, schools, public facilities, and businesses with a non-motorized trailway.

Through meetings conducted by the Lowell Area Community Fund of the Grand Rapids Foundation, it became apparent of the Lowell area public's desire for a non-motorized trailway(s) that would provide connectivity between the City of Lowell, Vergennes Township, and Lowell Township.

The LARA identified these connections as important goals in the trailway plan and realized the potential for increasing community support for the trailway plan by working cooperatively between the various communities represented within the LARA.

As residential and commercial development continues, the needs for alternative means of transportation will continue to grow. This trailway master plan will provide the LARA with a valuable tool to plan for future right-of-way acquisition and to assist in securing funding for construction.

The plan, when implemented, should benefit the health, safety, and general welfare of the entire Lowell area with continually improved non-motorized transportation and recreation opportunities.

We encourage you to view the master plan and review the Lowell Area Trailway Study at either Lowell Township, the City of Lowell, or Vergennes Township.

If you are interested in volunteering or have further questions, please contact one of the above and they will put you in touch with an individual from the LARA.
