WELCOME
!
The
Betsie Valley Trail is 22 miles long and extends from Frankfort through Elberta and
Beulah to Thompsonville in Benzie County Michigan (see map and trail description
on Trail Tour page). From Frankfort to Beulah it is non-motorized. All of it is excellent
for bicycles and pedestrian use. The 6 miles from Frankfort to Mollineaux Rd. is
asphalt and is good for roller blading. From Beulah to Thompsonville (13 miles) the
compacted aggregate trail is open to snowmobiles from December through March.
The trail is owned by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and is operated
and maintained by Benzie County. The Friends of the Betsie Valley Trail (FBVT) is
a Michigan not for profit corporation formed in 1993 to advocate, promote and encourage
the development and successful operation of a recreational trail on the former Ann
Arbor Railroad corridor in Benzie County. FBVT is a benevolent friend of the trail.
It supports the efforts of the DNR and County and intends to see that the trail is
built, maintained and enjoyed.
