Cascade Peace Park

Cascade Peace Park is a single-track trail that consists of floodplain, meadow areas, as well as old growth forest. The primary entrance to the park is located at 8900 Grand River Ave and  can also be accessed from Bolt Drive at the west end of the unpaved section of road.  The trail system is comprised of a primary green loop that is 1.6 miles in length with an additional 7 sections that add distance and complexity.  The elevation profile provides a higher ft/mile gain than the average trails in West Michigan.


The Main Loop:

The Inside Loop:

  • There is a porta potty available at the Grand River parking lot.
  • This trail has some elevation which is great for hill repeats.

 

Grand River Full Outer Loop (2.8 miles, ~511ft elevation gain)

This loop begins from the Grand River parking lot up the first hill .  You will head right onto the red loop where you’ll find more climbing to do while you overlook the parking lot.  You’ll continue to stay right until you enter the open field where going straight will bring to the Bolt St parking lot and going left will continue to the green loop.
