How it works:
Visit five different trails in Southwest Michigan.
You can hike, bike, paddle, snowshoe, cross-country ski, fat tire bike and snowmobile on the trails, depending on what they are designated for.
The five trails must be included in the members at the bottom of this page.
Take a selfie by the trailhead. Upload it in the Visit Southwest Michigan app Trails Challenge.
The first 100 people to complete the challenge will earn prizes. This year's prizes are a branded belt bag and commemorative sticker!
The challenge will run year round, but it closes when 100 people complete it. It reopens the following September.
You are welcome to participate year after year! Collect your prizes to commemorate your participation each year.
