When complete, the LaSalle Trail will travel an arrow-straight 3.5 miles between Roseland Town Park in Roseland and the Indiana–Michigan state line. Michigan is currently working on building a trail that stretches north from the border to the city of Niles. As of 2013, the LaSalle Trail—occupying a former interurban railroad corridor—passes through suburban back yards from Douglas Street north to Cleveland Road.
Parking for the LaSalle Trail can be found in a small lot at the intersection of Cripe Street and McCombs Street, along the north side of Roseland Town Park.

There is also parking and access at the dead-ends at the west end of W Clark St. and W Willow Dr. There is also Visitor parking at the Cripe St. crossing.
