Border-to-Border Trail

The Border-to-Border (B2B) Trail is a partially constructed non-motorized trail in Washtenaw County, Michigan. The trail is planned to cover approximately from Livingston County to Wayne County along the Huron River.

In thirteen segments from A to M, it will link Huron-Clinton Metroparks with Dexter Township, the Village of Dexter, Scio Township, the City of Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor Township, Ypsilanti Township, and the City of Ypsilanti. Segment A is located on the Livingston County border to the north-west and M on the Wayne County border in the south-east. The trail is being developed in sub-segments (e.g. C1 and C2 make up part of C). As each segment is developed, there are sometimes refinements to the actual path. In the interest of continuity, parts of the current trail do not reflect the planned final route, but use existing surface streets until the final trail can be constructed.

Route

On 24 September 2010, part of the border-to-border route in Ypsilanti was opened for access to the public. This temporary route, constructed using crushed-concrete, extends from Michigan Avenue Bridge, over the Huron River to Park Street. Friends of the Border-to-Border trail called it "almost an urban wilderness".

The whole planned Border-to-Border route, segments A to M, is from Livingston County to Wayne County along the Huron River.
Segment C is a routed proposed north from Dexter to Hudson Mills Metropark.
