Explore Proven Trails

Proven Trails is one of Grand Rapids's most underrated places. With back woods trails, tall standing trees, and relaxing scenery, this place is one that becomes the 'go-to' destination to get away from the city.

There are multiple trails to take if you wish to explore the woods. All of them are loops that start from the same trailhead and then branch off as you get further into the woods. They vary in distance, but not so much in terrain. They are mostly level with the exception of the yellow trail that leads to a sand dune hidden in the woods.

Proven is one of the most ideal places I have ever been to for a relaxing hammock session. Anyone looking for something chill and stress-free should go here to set up, take a nap, and listen to the sounds of nature. Perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday if you ask me.

Because of the flat (mostly) terrain, it is also an ideal place to go for runs or walk your dog while getting some fresh air.

Ultimately this places offers the opportunities to be active, to relax, and much more. You really can't go wrong spending a day or even only a couple of hours here.
