As the Berrien County Road Department continues reconstructing Red Arrow Highway in the coming years, new sections of road will come with new sections of roadside trail.

The Red Arrow Linear Trail currently can be seen along the side of Red Arrow Highway in southern Berrien County, particularly in New Buffalo and Chikaming townships, but they’re not planning to stop. The Southwest Michigan Planning Commission’s Marcy Hamilton tells us the ultimate goal for the trail is ambitious.

“ We’re working all the way up the coast to try to get this trail done,” Hamilton. “We’re also working from New Buffalo to Chicago on the Marquette Greenway. So we’re looking at connecting communities and connecting areas with this wonderful trail along it.”
