Each year, trails are recognized as Pure Michigan Trails through a partnership between the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the state's Pure Michigan marketing program.

This year, The White Pine Trail in West Michigan is one of the recipients. The White Pine Trail runs 92 miles from Cadillac to Comstock Park near Grand Rapids. It follows the former roadbed of the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad, and is a paved multi-use trail. It passes through 15 communities.

"The Pure Michigan Trail program recognizes Michigan pathways that provide a quality trail experience, whether these trail users are hiking, biking, riding or paddling," said DNR state trails coordinator Tim Novak. "The organizations and dedicated individuals helping maintain these high-quality trails have worked hard to support and advocate for trails and trails users while providing safe, accessible recreational experiences year-round."

The other two recipients are the Michigan Air Line Trail, a 7.5-mile trail in Oakland County, near Detroit, and the Great Lakes Way. The Great Lakes Way includes 160 miles of greenways and 156 miles of blueways which connect southern Lake Huron with Western Lake Erie.
