Description:
Following the north side of the creek, the Buck Creek Trail provides a pleasant route through the city's neighborhoods and, with a new extension, connects the downtown area with a network of trails along the Grand River and up to Grand Rapids via the Grandville River Trail and Kent Trails. The pathway was built on a gypsum mine, which travelers can read about on two historical displays. A highlight of the trail is Wedgwood Park, offering many recreational amenities, including a baseball field, volleyball court, horseshoe pits and picnic grounds.
