The Traverse Area Recreation and Transportation Trails (TART Trails) are a system of non-motorized trails in and around Traverse City, Michigan, extending further into Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties. The system was established in 1998.

The senior trail's acronym "TART" pays tribute to one of the best-known agricultural products of the Traverse City area, the tart cherry or pie cherry. For similar reasons, the local airport is called Cherry Capital Airport.
