Van Buren Trail State Park
- Van Buren Trail State Park
The Van Buren Trail State Park, also known as Trail State Park, is an unimproved rail trail running along a former railroad right-of-way between Hartford, Michigan to just south of South Haven, Michigan in Van Buren County. It is 14 miles long and mostly used by horse trail riders in the summer and snowmobilers in the winter. Terrain is flat with farmland and trees.
In 2004, Van Buren County took over operation of the state-owned trail from between South Haven and Hartford after state budget problems. There is a trail pass system to pay for maintenance.
Its northern terminus is near Van Buren State Park on Lake Michigan. The Kal-Haven Trail starts in South Haven a few miles north. The trail pass is valid for both trails.
The trail is marked with mileposts installed in 1995 by Eagle Scout Kyle Mead.
