In East Lansing, we’ve put together a decent, 5-mile loop combining the Inter Urban Pathway and Nancy Moore/South Central Park. The Inter Urban Pathway is a paved multi-use path that runs for 1.8 miles between Burcham Dr. and Marsh Rd. Do this as a 3.6 mile out and back, or to make it a loop, head south on March Rd., RIGHT on Nemoke Trail for 0.5 miles into Nancy Moore Park. Enjoy ~1 mile of trails in the park, through some woods and around some fields, exiting the east end of the park. RIGH onto Okemos Rd. for 0.5 miles (decent sidewalk), rejoining the Inter Urban Pathway for the final mile.
