East Michigan Trails

Delhi Township TrailsThe Delhi Township Trails are a growing network of paved interurban pathways connecting the community of Holt with the Lansing River Trail. This network includes three trail segments. The Ram Trail runs 4 miles along Holt Road from Holt High School to downtown Holt. The Valhalla Trail travels 2.25 miles from Esker Landing Park to Willoughby Road. The Sycamore Trail continues north for 2.1 miles to the Lansing River Trail and South Lansing Pathway near Maguire Park. The east trails pass along a series of linear lakes; remnants of the ancient

“hogsback,” as it was called by early settlers. The hogsback, an “esker” in geologic terms, was a ridge of nearly pure gravel formed by glaciers that once ran south from Lansing to Mason. Nearly all traces of the hogsback were mined out years ago. Valhalla Park, built on one of these lakes, offers a nice swimming beach and picnic area. Esker Landing Park is a great place to begin your ride from the south. It offers fishing and a universally accessible kayak launch on Cedar Lake. The township plans to build a new trail connecting Valhalla Trail to the Hayhoe Trail in Mason within the next few years as funding becomes available.

South Lansing PathwayThe 5.8-mile South Lansing Pathway is a paved non-motorized trail stretching from Waverly Road through Benjamin Davis Park along a Consumers Energy utility corridor to Maguire Park, where it connects with the Lansing River Trail and the Sycamore Trail. From Maquire Park, a northeastern segment of the trail passes through Biggie Munn Park to Cavanaugh Road, where it will eventu-ally be extended to Spartan Village on the MSU campus. This east/west interurban trail travels through a mostly residential area, giving local residents easy access to the entire Lansing area trail network. The trail was thoughtfully designed with signalized crossings, or HAWK signals, providing safe passage across busy streets.

The Sycamore Trail connects with the Lansing River Trail and South Lansing Pathway.

Community leaders from Delhi Township officially opened Esker Landing Park at a dedication ceremony on August 28, 2019. The new park serves as a southern trailhead for the Valhalla Trail. It also includes fishing access and a universally accessible kayak launch on Cedar Lake.
