Harbor View Bike Path & Pedestrian Trail

Winding through and connecting most of the City of Harbor Beach, the Harbor View Trail is one of the best kept secrets of the Thumb! 

Great for walking or biking, the trail takes you through multiple waterfront areas, our downtown, and to our nature trail.

The newest extension of the trail system in Harbor Beach is the PFC Brian Backus Nature Trail. The path connects to the Harbor View trail and is located adjacent to North Park Campground.

The trail weaves through wooded areas and featured boardwalks and bridges, including the Randy Rapson Memorial Bridge at the enterence to the trail.
