Okemos to Downtown Lansing directions, from the corner of Forest and Farm:
5. From Forest Road, continue west to Aurelius Road.
6. Turn right onto Aurelius, take north to the Lansing River Trail. Access point will be a ramp going
away from Aurelius, on the right side of the street. (There is also parking available at this spot.)
7. Turn left onto the Lansing River Trail.
8. Take the Lansing River Trail to Cedar Street.
At Cedar, you have 2 options:
8a. Stay on the trail, which loops south along the river, until you get to the "Cedar Link" at
Elm Street. Then turn left onto Elm. (Do not continue on the Lansing River Trail, unless you
want to take it to Kalamazoo St, ride up the ramp on Kalamazoo, and then head west into
downtown Lansing on Kalamazoo. Or unless you want to take the trail even further north to
the City Market/LCC, or to Old Town).
8b. Get on Elm Street and cross Cedar, which goes straight across Elm instead of looping
south along the river.
Both of these options get you to the same place-- the "Cedar Link" where Elm Street crosses
the River Trail.
9. From the "Cedar Link", take Elm St. west to Washington.
10. Turn right onto Washington, go north into Downtown Lansing.
