The proposed Recreational Trail Tax Abatement would offer property tax incentives to private landowners who allow public recreational trails on portions of their land. This targeted program would encourage trail expansion, promote tourism, and support local nonprofits that build and maintain trail systems—without requiring land acquisition or costly public spending. By creating a simple and effective incentive, Michigan can solidify its reputation as a national leader in outdoor recreation and improve access to trails across the state.
