Last year Kalamazoo County added a very unique park to its roster: The Kalamazoo River Valley Trailway.
Whether you’re planning an extensive workout or a relaxing stroll with friends or family, the length and location of this trail varies. Currently, from its start on Westnedge Avenue in Downtown Kalamazoo, to its finish at the Kal-Haven Trailhead on 10th Street, the KRV Trail extends 4.8 miles.
The Kalamazoo River Valley Trailway is free to use and is funded by private donations and matching enhancement grants from the Michigan Department of Transportation. As more funds and property become available, the plan is to extend the trail further east, connecting the KRV Trail and the Kal-Haven Trail to other large, regional trails including Battle Creek’s Linear Park and Portage’s Bicentennial Park. The end result would create a network of more than 135 miles of trails stretching from Battle Creek to the shores of Lake Michigan.
The KRV Trail is open daily from 7:00 a.m. to sunset. Its paved-asphalt surface is designed for non-motorized transportation and recreation.
Point-to-Point Distances on the Kalamazoo River Valley Trailway:
10th Street to Westnedge Avenue = 4.8 miles
10th Street to Drake Road = 1.01 miles
10th Street to Ravine Road = 3 miles
10th Street to Paterson = 4 miles
Drake Road to Nichols = 1.2 miles
Nichols to Douglas Avenue = 1.6 miles
Douglas Avenue to Westnedge Avenue = 1.05 miles
