There are a variety of ways to experience Big Rapids’ scenic beauty. You can head to one of the city’s 12 parks or 100 lakes where you can enjoy activities like hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and picnicking. You can also take a scenic walk or ride your bike along the White Pine Trail, which is Michigan’s longest “rails-to-trails” project. It follows the former Grand Rapids and Indiana rail lines for 93.5 miles, through five counties. The trail traverses diverse landscapes, including farmland, swamps and forests. The White Pine Trial can also connect you with the Big Rapids Riverwalk. The Riverwalk stretches for 2.6 miles along the Muskegon River and winds from the city’s downtown to Northend Riverside Park.
If you’re traveling to the city to visit the campus of Ferris State University, one of our Big Rapids hotels is a convenient place to stay. Ferris State University is a public university founded in 1884. It’s the ninth largest university in the state with just under 15,000 students attending classes on the main campus. While visiting, you can check the athletics calendar to see if the Ferris State Bulldogs will be playing a home game.
