Paws and Paths: Your Pet-Friendly Guide to East Lansing Trails

Living at Collingwood means having the MSU to Lake Lansing Trail right in your backyard. This scenic path is a haven for runners, cyclists, and nature lovers who crave a connection to the Red Cedar River and the surrounding woodlands. Whether you are starting your morning with a brisk walk or winding down with a sunset stroll, the direct trail access provides a natural escape without ever leaving the neighborhood.

We know that home isn't home without your four-legged friends, which is why our pet-friendly policy is designed to be inclusive. We welcome cats and dogs up to 100 pounds, ensuring your large-breed companions have plenty of room to roam both inside and out. The community atmosphere is perfect for pet owners who value outdoor space, and the nearby trails offer endless opportunities for your pup to explore.

When you aren't on the trail, you can enjoy the community’s unique outdoor features, like the private sand volleyball court. It is a great way to meet neighbors and soak up the East Lansing sun. After a day of activity, you will appreciate the peace and quiet of your private balcony or walkout patio, where the sounds of the river provide a calming, relaxed soundtrack to your evening.
