At the Trailway Alliance's strategic meeting, which took place earlier this month, participants discussed specific segments of trail west of Marshall that could use attention. This report from the event shares some of the opportunities and obstacles that were identified by each group. What would you add about these segments of Calhoun County trail?

On Tuesday, Oct. 14, the Calhoun County Trailway Alliance hosted a strategic meeting with community partners at Venue 19 Zero 9 in Marshall. Participants heard from Ryan Bowles, Trail Manager for the North Country Trail's Chief Noonday Chapter; Bill Greer, Chair of the CCTA; and Andrea LaFontaine, Executive Director of Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance. Then, each table had a segment of trail in Calhoun County that they brainstormed methods for improvement and shared with the group. It was a great opportunity to collectively envision connected trail across Calhoun. Thank you to everyone who participated! This opportunity was possible due to a grant from the Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance.

Work is being done to keep the Calhoun County Trail in good condition!

Last month, Parks staff worked on trail erosion maintenance throughout the Calhoun County Trail. They graded the existing trail, added new material where necessary, and reshaped the path to hopefully prevent dangerous erosion. We are taking steps to keep Calhoun County Parks ideal for all users.
