Details will be shared once the contractor’s schedule is finalized. At mile 1.25, the steep downhill section is currently being converted into a switchback, and between miles 3 and 3.5 we are re‑routing and improving three hills that have been repeatedly washed out. All this work is being completed by a professional trail builder. For updates to park closures please visit the DNR closure page www.Michigan.gov/DNRClosures. Do you have other questions?
