Keeping Our Trails Beautiful
Explore the Polly Ann Trail and be part of a community dedicated to protecting and improving our outdoor spaces.
Polly Ann Trail Run/Walk 2026 was a Big Success
The Friends of the Polly Ann Trail would like to thank everyone who participated in this year's Trail Run/Walk—the runners, walkers, volunteers, and sponsors. This was our most successful Run/Walk ever, with 57 finishers and strong donor support.
As the biggest fundraising event of the year for the Friends of the Polly Ann Trail, all proceeds go directly toward trail maintenance. While Lapeer County manages the trail, it provides no county funds. Annual Michigan DNR grants help a great deal, but nearly all upkeep relies on volunteers. Your support fuels volunteer equipment and resources, ensuring our trail remains safe and beautiful.

New Development on the Polly Ann Trail
The Friends of the Polly Ann Trail is a volunteer organization dedicated to preserving, improving, and promoting the trail for the community. Recently, the group developed 1.5 miles of the trail, from Dryden Rd. south to Casey Rd. That section of the trail has been surfaced with crushed limestone — the first time this has been done on the Lapeer Polly Ann Trail. The bridges in this section have also been improved, and this portion now connects directly to General Squier Park.
This project was made possible through the awarding of a Spark Grant from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The total cost of the project was about $360,000. Get out there and see for yourself! To support the Friends of the Polly Ann Trail with trail maintenance, visit https://pollyannlapeer.org/
