 | overview The Betsie Valley Trail is a rail-trail that stretches 22 miles between Thompsonville and Elberta/Frankfort, Michigan. The Greenway Collaborative, Inc. is a part of a consultant team lead by Johnson Hill and Associates, and including InSite Design Studio. We prepared a master plan for the trail between Elberta and Crystal Lake and from Beulah to Thompsonville.
The master plan makes extensive use of geographic information system technology. Fieldwork, digital orthophotos (air photos with the distortion removed) and global positioning units were utilized for a comprehensive inventory of issues and opportunities along the trail. In addition, detailed site inventories and proposed plans were prepared for five trailhead areas and two areas of special interest. | |||||||
