Walk, run or bike along this charming well maintained 9.5mi "bay city loop" which is an extension of the trail from Bay City State Park & Recreation. There are access points all along the way however the official beginning is at Liberty Bridge. This little trail allows you to see heart of downtown, the marina, Veteran's Memorial Park, beautiful gardens, and benches. The waterfront section features several ball fields, picnic areas and playgrounds. Soak up some of Bay City's shipbuilding heritage by viewing some interesting artifacts which includes Capt. Davidson's dry dock (located at the mouth of the foot bridge) and nearby is the rudder from one of his all wooden 1890s-1900s steamers. The Trombley-Centre House is just off the path it the oldest frame house still standing. There are a few markers that occupy this path delivering additional historic information. If nature is what you seek, there is also an arboretum or you can just sit back and watch the river flow past on one of the many benches along the way. Bay City Fittness park is the home of the River walk Pier which then leads to the wooden Riverwalk bridge. Upon utilizing the footbridge to cross the river channel you will arrive in Bigelow Park, an 11 acre gem situated on a small peninsula delivering panoramic views. Head towards the Lafayette Bridge and you're officially in the south end of Bay City. Take a right to cross the Bridge and check out Ted Putz Nature Area which is a 4-acre park with a boardwalk overlooking the wetlands scenery of the Saginaw River. Arbor street will lead you back to the Riverwalk :) Personally- I enjoy going against the grain a little :) So I prefer to park at Bigelow park and go backwards :) Riverwalk pier and the footbridge are my two favorites. Sometimes my childlike patience kicks in and I can't wait to get there :) If I do make it all the way down to Liberty Bridge from there I like to treat my self with Mama Lupos Homemade Ice cream to indulge on the trek back :) If I need a bit of a break I hit up Brooklyn Boyz for some pizza and the garlic knots always give me the will to walk back!
