Among the largest in the country, Lansing’s River Trail stretches for more than 20 miles along the Grand and Red Cedar rivers, linking peaceful parks, historic sites, and lively urban centers throughout Lansing and East Lansing. Along the route, visitors can spot spawning salmon and steelhead at the Brenke Fish Ladder in September, explore the Turner-Dodge House to the northwest, visit Potter Park Zoo to the southeast, and enjoy Louis F. Adado Riverfront Park, home to Lansing’s major festivals. Public parking is available at regular intervals along the trail.
