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.
