Fred Meijer Heartland Trail

Fred Meijer Heartland Trail Fred Meijer Heartland Trail is paved for 42 miles in Gratiot-Montcalm counties & open to public. Along its length, it crosses several creeks and one river.

The Fred Meijer Heartland Trail is located in lovely, rural Montcalm and Gratiot Counties, in the heart of central Michigan. The trail winds its way north through farmland and wooded State Game areas, taking the traveler through the picturesque towns of Greenville, Sidney, Stanton, McBrides, and Edmore. At Edmore, the trail turns east and leads through Cedar Lake and Vestaburg, entering Gratiot Co

unty where the trail goes through Riverdale, Elwell and ends in downtown Alma. Of particular interest, south of Stanton, is the 120-year-old historic bridge that spans Fish Creek. If your organization would like to use the FMHT as part of your activity, it is imperative that you contact a Board Member to obtain permission and clear dates. Insurance coverage by your organization is necessary for trail events. Contact information is found on the Contact Us page of www.fredmeijerheartlandtrail.org.
