The City of Escanaba has created a 4.54 mile network of bicycle paths within the city, enabling bikers to ride safely off the motor vehicle pavement. The paths traverse the perimeter of Ludington Park, around the municipal dock and then along 1st Avenue North. The path also runs along Lincoln Road from Lake Shore Drive to the north city limit on Danforth Road. There is also a loop that circles the west side of Escanaba, westward on Old State Road to South 30th, then to 5th Avenue South and back to South Lincoln Road.

Each year additional miles are paved. The long term plan is to provide a safe network of bike paths throughout the city and eventually to Gladstone.

Here are three suggested routes that you can take in this bikeable city:

•  Follow the perimeter of Ludington Park, around the municipal dock and then along 1st Ave. North
• Take Lake Shore Drive, along Lincoln Rd. to the north city limit on Danforth Rd.
• Go west on Old State Rd. to South 30th, then to 5th Avenue South and back to South Lincoln Rd.
