📣 CALL TO ACTION 📣 Let’s secure public access to High Rock forever! Together we can help the DNR add 160 acres—a critical outdoor recreation corridor—to public lands at the tip of the Keweenaw. This parcel contains over half a mile of the Keweenaw Point Trail, almost half a mile of High Rock Bay Road, and more!
Although this land is currently used, there are no road or trail easements in place, and that means at any time those routes could be closed! KORC has worked over the last 3 years to secure a deal with the current landowner. The DNR has some funds reserved for this acquisition, but not enough to close the deal by March 31, 2023. KORC will be pledging funds donated by our members in December, but we still have more to raise to make up the funding gap.
That’s where we all step in and step up! Copper Harbor Trails Club and a private foundation have generously offered to match every donation dollar-for-dollar, so whatever you are able to contribute, your donation will be matched 1:1 by these funding sources!
