Tourism and Visiting North Muskegon - City of North Muskegon

Coming to North Muskegon in 2011….the continuation of the Musketawa Trail north. The City of North Muskegon is proud to announce that we are applying for a grant to assist us in building a bike trail on the south side of Lake Avenue up through the “four corners” to Mills. This section of trail will be referred to as Phase I and Phase II is scheduled for 2014. Phase II will pick up at Mills, travel north down Witham to connect to Laketon Township’s path that will take you to the State and County Park.
