Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State ParkForty-five years in the making, the Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park made a great leap toward completion last fall when the abandoned rail line from Stockbridge to Hawkins Road was surfaced with finely screened limestone and three new trailheads where built at Stockbridge, Munith and Hawkins Road. The trail was paved with asphalt through Stockbridge and the old limestone surface was completely restored from Stockbridge to Gregory.
One of Michigan’s five “linear” state parks, the trail currently consists of approximately 31 miles of nonmotorized trail passing through a varied landscape of woodlands, wetlands, lakes, small country towns and quaint family farms.
The trail includes 8 miles of paved asphalt trail, with an unpaved equestrian path, from the village of Hamburg to M-36 in Pinckney. The 12-mile section from Pinckney to Stockbridge is surfaced with finely screened limestone. This unpaved section is a very popular equestrian trail.
The linear state park was developed on the remnants of the original Michigan Air Line Railroad, built in 1883, which ran between Port Huron and Niles. It was known as the Grand Trunk Western Railroad when the rail corridor was abandoned and acquired by MDOT in 1975.
Pending funding approval, the Michigan DNR hopes to complete the 5-mile trail connection to Jackson in 2021. It is unclear when the eastern end of the trail will be developed, linking up with the new Island Lake Connector Trail.
Island Lake Connector TrailOpened on June 8, 2019, the 4-mile Island Lake Connector Trail is the first segment of trail that will someday link the Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park with the Island Lake Pathway. The $300,000 project was personally funded by Mike Levine. This is a critical link in the Great Lake-to-Lake Trail Route #1. A 4.5-mile road route now connects the two state trails (see green line for suggested road route on map).

To meet our twenty-first century energy demands, we need a twenty-first century electric grid. ITC, the nation’s largest independent electricity transmission company, is working every day across the state – from Metro Detroit to Lake Michigan and north to the Mackinac Bridge – to modernize the grid. That means safe, secure, reliable electricity to power our energy future. At ITC, we’re always working for the greater grid.
