16-Mile City Wide Pathway Great for Walking and Biking - connects to city parks and the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary!
A beautiful, city wide paved pathway. A great way to see the City of Alpena and all the great things it has to offer. The 16 mile Bi Path connects almost every park in the city as well as many of the other attractions around the city including the Jesse Besser Museum, Thunder Bay Recreation Center, Marina, and many more. Many of the parks throughout the city provide great spots to park a car and head out on the trail by foot or bike.
