Re: Where Is It?
It is along one of the Fred Meijer trails although it doesn't appear that tracks were along this exact spot.
Both the PM and GTW went through this town.

Doesn't look familiar to me from my rides on a lot of the west michigan routes.

Re: Where Is It?
Can you give the exact coordinates (road, landmark, etc.)?

Re: Where Is It?
I was just about to post that exact spot as well, found it browsing through photos of the museum. AARR - we did not bike past this when we biked through Greenville a few years ago. We went up to the north side of town, biked around the old Electrolux property, then went straight west then south to Taco Bell, bypassing this short stretch of trail.
Now a better question - what is this thing we are looking at? Paging Rodney - help us!

Yes Indeed, that structure is located on west side of S Franklin Street, south of the Flat River, a block west of M-91 in Greenville, Montcalm County.

Re: Where Is It?
Appears we don't know what that structure was... moving on.
Where be it? ROW is where these electric lines are. I've walked on this section of ROW a couple of times while at this park, and just seemed odd that it was an elevated section where the rest of the park was flat. Just found out that this used to be a ROW way back in the day. The elevation part makes sense now...it elevates it over a body of water nearby.

Re: Where Is It?
Most would not consider this town as SE Michigan. If you looked at the full state of Michigan in regards to it's surface area, I'd say it's in the SE area. Therefore, that's a clue
