Traverse City Boardman Lake Loop Trail In Summer 2022, the City of Traverse City and its partners celebrated the completion of the Boardman Lake Loop Trail. Bicyclists, pedestrians, and users of all abilities will be able to circumnavigate the 5-mile loop through heavily wooded and urban areas around Boardman Lake, a 339-acre watershed that is part of the Boardman River. The completed Loop will connect the library, parks, neighborhoods, local businesses, and Northwestern Michigan University Center, in addition to businesses along the Cass and South Airport corridors. A majority of the Loop is owned by the city, in partnership with Grand Traverse County and Garfield Township. TART Trails (Traverse Area Recreation Trails) works in partnership to support the development and maintenance of the trail. The $8.9 million, multiple year planning initiative has been made possible through financial contributions from a number of organizations and individuals over decades that are passionate about mobility and the future sustainability of our region.
