The Buffalo Ridge Trail is a paved urban transportation and recreational corridor that connects the Grand Traverse Commons to West Middle School. The trail runs parallel to Silver Lake Rd and Franke Rd and provides access to the Commons, TBA-ISD, the Historic Barns Park and Botanical Garden of Northwest Michigan. Part of the TART network, the proposed route of the Buffalo Ridge Trail will span 4.5 miles and connect the west and southwest areas of Traverse City.
