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.
Please use caution as you pass the area under construction near Mollineaux. We’ve been informed that you’ll need to stop and walk your bike at some point. We are addressing this issue with the Park and Rec department who is managing this project. Our expectation has been that the trail will remain open during this construction phase. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and please use caution.

The repair work to the trail is now complete! The friends invested $40,572 in this project. We want to thank Elite Asphalt Repair for their awesome work. We are also most grateful to our many volunteers who spent hours at trail closure points keeping people safe away from the worksites. Thank you also to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources for their support.
