​

The White Pine Trail is Michigan’s longest single paved trail stretching a distance of 92 miles of the former Grand Rapids and Indiana rail bed. It is also the third longest single paved trail in the country. The trail reaches from the north end of Grand Rapids to Cadillac. The White Pine Trail is one of the top 100 rails-to-trails in the US as determined by the National Rails-to-Trails Conservancy.​

​

The White Pine Trail is a major backbone trail in west and northern Michigan, with the Musketawa and Pere Marquette Trails intersecting the White Pine Trail, with future trail connections planned.

​

As of May 2025, the entire 92 mile trail is paved from Comstock Park north to Cadillac.
