Features:
This is a pleasant run on the south side of the Grand River, showcasing Frances Park and the lovely homes along the riverside Moores River Dr. We’ve mapped a 5.2 mile out & back route, but this can be combined with the Lansing River Trail at Moores Park.
The western edge of this route is at the intersection of Moores River Dr. & W Mt. Hope Dr. Run east along Moores River Dr. for 0.6 km. At Frances Park, enjoy a lop around the park’s paths, fields, and rose garden. Then, continue east along Moores River Dr. for another 1.5 miles. This is a scenic road, with gracious older homes and glimpses of the Grand River. The turnaround point is at Moores Park.
Add-Ons: At Moores Park, can continue east on the Lansing River Trail for up to 5 miles to the SMU campus, with northern & southern spur options shown in our other Lansing routes.
