The Pere Marquette State Trail ends or starts 2.3 milses West of the city of Clare depending on what direction you're traveling; at what is called the Moose Lodge Staging Area.There is approximately three-mile section that has not been built through the city called The Clare Gap. All together the trail is 56 miles long on the former midsection of the former CSX Railroad line.
Gypsy and I didn't do a very far walk on this day because it was so hot, and the trail didn't provide much shade, starting at the Moose Lodge Staging Area. We walked maybe a mile and turned around.
I drove West on US 10 and pulled off at Riverside City Park in Evart. There was this iron bridge that crossed over the Muskegon River.
This is the view of the bridge from the fishing pier at Riverside City Park.
The Muskegon River view in the opposite direction from the bridge, looking downstream on the fishing pier.
A bicycle is probably the best way to enjoy the Pere Marquette State Trail.
