The Fred Meijer Standale Trail is used for biking, walking, and jogging. The paved trail starts at the intersection of Maynard Avenue and Butterworth Drive, where it connects to the
Millennium Park trail system in Walker. The trail is over six miles long and passes through residential areas. It can be used to reach the businesses and restaurants along Lake Michigan Drive in Standale.
You can park at Millennium Park, the Walker Ice & Fitness Center, or at the park along Sunset Hills Avenue to access the Fred Meijer Standale Trail.
An underground tunnel was constructed on the trail and opened in 2016 that runs under Lake Michigan Drive. The project was actually awarded a community excellence award by the Michigan Municipal League.
