You'll find one of Traverse City's most rewarding trails at the tip of Old Mission Peninsula, where the 45th parallel meets Grand Traverse Bay. This easy 2-mile loop winds through dense hardwood forests and opens onto dramatic shoreline views. The kids will love scrambling over the rocky beach while your dog explores the scent-rich woodland paths. The lighthouse at trail's end marks the halfway point between the equator and North pole - a fun fact that makes the scenic payoff even sweeter.
