Trails with Trailhead Parking in Michigan

Michigan has 526 trails with trailhead parking in this directory, across 177 cities and towns — Ann Arbor, Detroit, Traverse City, Kalamazoo and 173 more. A trailhead lot you can actually park in — and the ones that fill by mid-morning.

Labels come from each trail's own listing, its website and runners' reviews. Conditions change with the weather and the season, and gates and lights follow the park's own hours, so check a recent review before you drive out.
