Thornapple Trail

The Thornapple Trail is the abbreviated name for the a partially completed Paul Henry-Thornapple Trail (rail trail) in west Michigan. The Middleville portion is being connected to the Kent County section which will eventually link to Kent Trails. When complete, the Paul Henry - Thornapple Trail will be a 42-mile multi-use recreation trail running from Grand Rapids, Michigan to Vermontville, Michigan.[1]

The trail was originally the Grand River Valley Railroad, constructed in 1868–69. Service on the line ended in 1983, after the state ended an operating subsidy for the railroad line.[2]

The Paul Henry Trail and the Thornapple Trail are together named the Paul Henry Thornapple Trail and are referred to by this name.[3][4]
