3. Take the Lansing River Trail to Cedar Street.
At Cedar, you have 2 options:
3a. 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).

river.
Both of these options get you to the same place-- the "Cedar Link" where Elm Street crosses the River Trail.

5. Turn right onto Washington, go north into Downtown Lansing.
Congratulations! You are downtown!
