Trolley Services

The Lakeshore Trolley runs Thursdays – Mondays throughout the summer, picking you up and dropping you off at local sites of interest. This is a great summer activity that the whole family can enjoy!

The trolley will pick you up if you are within three-quarters of a mile from the trolley route. Please provide 24 hours notice to ensure we can accommodate your request. Call 616-842-3200 during normal business hours to make your request.
