NCNST Connector — MSGA to
Barry-Kent County Line
Here is a map or aerial image (your
choice!) showing the current track of the North Country
National Scenic Trail between Parmalee Road and Baker Avenue
in northern Barry and southern Kent Counties. (See also our
map of the NCNST
between Garbow and Parmalee Roads.)
The color code:
-
The red track shows the NCNST connector roadwalk
between the Parmalee Road crossing and 108th Street, which is
the county line between Barry and Kent Counties.
-
The
green track shows the off-road NCNST section following an old
two-track through the Middleville State Game Area along the 108th
Street right-of-way and the county line between Harris Creek Road
(called Morse Lake Road in Kent County north of 108th Street) and
Solomon Road (called Coldwater Ave SE on the Kent County side of
108th).
-
The
blue track shows the connector roadwalk along 108th
Street/county line between Solomon Road and Wood School Road
(called Baker Ave on the Kent County side of 108th), where it turns
north and follows Baker Ave into Kent County.
In the map displayed here, the Trail
track is overlaid on a Google street map/satellite image hybrid. You can change
the background to a topo map, a USGS aerial image, or a simple street map or satellite image by
making your selection from the right-hand drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the map image.
You can tone down the background layer
to better visualize details on the ground by changing the percentage value
in the other drop-down menu right next to the background selector.
Scroll the image to the right (using
the bottom scroll bar) if necessary to activate the
background layer selection menu to the right of the map image.
By using the map tool in the upper
left corner you can also zoom in or out, and you can drag
the image to change the center point. With some of our maps, zooming in, then click 'n dragging
the map in whichever direction you want, makes it easier to make sense of the
marked waypoints, which in some cases are a bit bunched together otherwise.

Trail note(s):
-
In the woods to the east of
Harris Creek Road there seems to be an unauthorized gunnery target
range. There is also a target range on the private land north of the
108th Street right-of-way between Morse Lake Road and
Coldwater Avenue. Exercise caution when walking in these areas and
stay on the trail. (If you have questions,
contact
the Webmaster.)
