The Purpose of Our Trails
Downriver Linked Greenways transforms the Downriver region into a healthier community for people-powered transportation, conservation, and recreation, by creating a network of trails and green spaces that connect people with places. This is being done by building a network of partners in Wayne County, south of the City of Detroit and north of Monroe County.
Our Trails
