About the Trail
Seven-plus miles through three communities.
Completed in 2023 — an exemplary Rail-Trail, and now designated as a Pure Michigan Trail, The Michigan Air Line Trail has been in development, design and construction since 2009. Click below for a list of milestones.
Finding Your Way
You can get there
from here.
The Air Line is a key segment of a growing trail network in Southeast Michigan, connecting trails, towns, neighborhoods and even Great Lakes.
From the Air Line, all kinds of cafes, restaurants, breweries and shops are just steps away. Whether it's an ice cream cone, a pizza or a craft beer, come visit our communities; they are eager to welcome you.
Regional Trails
The Air Line is at the heart of western Oakland County's trail network. Click the map to explore some of our sister trails in the area.
Support the Trail
There are many ways to support the Air Line. Volunteer at an event, attend a Friends of the Michigan air Line Trail meeting, sponsor a bench purchase, or donate to our Forward Fund, designed to make sure the Trail will be around for generations to come.
Using the Trail Safely
The Air Line uses a number of safety devices at road crossings. Understanding how these crossing devices work is important to being a courteous and safe trail user, as well as being a mindful motorist when not on the trail.
