The Fred Meijer M-6 Trail runs parallel to the M-6 expressway, connecting the
Paul Henry Thornapple Trail
to
Kent Trails. The paved trail runs on the north and/or south side of M-6. To get
around the cloverleaf interchange that links M-6 and US-131, you will need to use a sidewalk route
to rejoin the paved trail.
The trail is used for bicycling, jogging, roller-blading, and walking. You can access restaurants, stores and a movie theater on Kalamazoo Avenue. Village Bike Shop is a block north the trail at 60th Street and Kalamazoo Avenue if you encounter a problem with your bike.
The
Grand Rapids area has many bike trails, as well as
museums, parks, and attractions.
