Shaver Road Bikeway begins on the south side of E. Centre Avenue in the southern Michigan city of Portage. On the north side of the roadway, a connection to the 4-mile Portage Creek Bicentennial Trail can be made. Both trails are part of the city’s 17.5-mile network of multi-use trails.

From Centre Avenue, the paved bikeway provides convenient access to shops and restaurants, then heads southwest paralleling Shaver Road and an active set of railroad tracks for much of its length. The trail heads due south when it meets Portage Industrial Drive and then east to end in South Westnedge Park, where recreational amenities abound, including a skate park, baseball diamonds, and a soccer field.

Parking and Trail Access

Parking is available in South Westnedge Park (9010 S Westnedge Avenue).
