Cycling

Bassett Creek is an ancient water catchment that flows 12 miles from its source at Plymouth's Medicine Lake, meandering through golf courses, parks and backyards in the western suburbs. However, once the creek reaches the city, it quickly vanishes into a vast tunnel that travels deep underground until it reaches its outlet, about 75 feet east of the West River Parkway Trail through the Bassett Creek Tunnel, a stone arch culvert built back in 1890.
