The Betsie Valley Trail is 22 miles long and extends from Frankfort through Elberta and Beulah to Thompsonville in Benzie County Michigan.
The Trail is popular for bicycle and pedestrian use.
Dogs are permitted on most parts of the Trail as long as they are on a leash and under control. Dogs are not permitted on the portion of the Trail between Mollineaux Road and Beulah.
We had lots of folks stop by our pop-up today at the Lewis Bridge overlook where we were introducing trail users to our Culture of Kindness and Courtesy campaign. Learn more on our website.

Launching our Culture of Kindness campaign! Friends board members and volunteers will be at the Lewis Bridge Overlook ‘pocket park’ tomorrow Sunday, August 2 from 11 - 2 giving away snacks and bike bells. They will also be rewarding courteous behavior they observe such as announcing that you’re passing on the left by giving out “caught ya” cards that will entitle the holder to a beer or ice cream at Stormcloud, Five Shores, Pearly’s Dairy King or Kilwins.

Wow, thank you to the amazing volunteers that shared their time today to work on the trail making it beautiful for those that use it. Julie and Dave Brewer, Mark Walton, Dan Ruffe, Heather Hudson, Bob Kennedy, Alan Penney, Jim Luginbill, Myra Willis, Charlie Gregory, Bill Skaff and our fearless leader, Steph Kennedy tackled trimming back overgrowth on the trail, around benches and on the bridges. If you weren’t able to join the fun today, be on the lookout for future opportunities. If you need a bit of incentive, donuts, snacks, water and coffee are always how we start our fun! 😊 —Julie
