In 1998, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources bought the rail corridor of the former Ann Arbor Railroad. Benzie County and the Friends of the Betsie Valley Trail worked with the DNR to construct the Trail. The Trail crosses the Betsie River twice near Elberta with beautiful views over Betsie Lake and its marshland, then travels to Crystal Lake with periodic views of the Betsie River. The Trail from Frankfort which includes Elberta, to Beulah is restricted to non-motorized use.
