Iron Belle Trail Updates


Iron Belle Logo

The VBT non-motorized pathway project will close a 7.0-mile gap in the Iron Belle State trail. Our path will connect the B2B Trail system (55 miles) in Washtenaw County with the HCMA trail system (30+ miles) that begins in the Lower Huron Metropark and extends southeast to Lake Erie.  Over 80% of the completed distance will follow the Huron River Greenway while the overall trail will connect dozens of existing parks, schools, central business districts, and neighborhoods.
