In 1996, a two and a half mile asphalt path was
constructed along the north side of Cascade Rd. It runs west from the
village to Hall St. and has been enormously popular to pedestrians,
bicyclists and rollerbladers. The success of the path inspired a
special election for the construction of additional pathways. As
a result, Cascade Township now boasts an impressive 17 miles of
pedestrian pathways spanning both sides of the Thornapple River
(please refer to the pedestrian
pathway map).
The pathways are maintained year-round by the Buildings and Grounds
Department. Maintenance
includes mowing, debris removal, refilling Mutt-Mitt dispensers and
trash removal.
In the winter months, the paths are kept open using a combination
of plow trucks and a Bobcat Toolcat utility vehicle. Motorized vehicles are
not permitted, other than vehicles necessary to maintain the system.
The paths include a number of bridges over ravines, wetlands and
creeks, as well as several attractive retaining walls along hillsides.
All of the paths are marked with appropriate signage to warn
pedestrians of road crossings, steep hills, sharp curves, etc., and
there are trash receptacles located throughout for your convenience.
