Chain of Lakes Water Trail

Connecting people, Water, and Communities.

Paddle Antrim proudly hosts the Chain of Lakes Water Trail.

The water is our conduit for connection, an avenue for adventure, and a source of joy for residents. Here, paddling isn’t just a pastime. It’s a gateway to our community’s prosperity.

Common Loons are threatened in Michigan and nest along the water trail. It is important to our mission that paddlers remain aware of loons and do their best to avoid them especially during nesting season.
