TART Trails, Friends of Sleeping Bear host open houses
From staff reports
TART Trails and Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes will host two summer open houses at the intersection of the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail and Glen Haven Road —on Thursday, July 27, from 11 am-1 pm, and Thursday, August 10, from 11 am-1 pm. Community members, visitors, trail users and those interested in learning more about the trail and its Pathway to Good Harbor extension are invited to stop by to talk trails.
The upcoming section of the Heritage Trail will extend north from Bohemian Road (CR 669) to Good Harbor Trail (CR 651). This nearly 5-mile section will highlight the best this region has to offer—the natural beauty and rich culture of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. This phase will feature both a paved trail and boardwalk pathway separated from the roadway, promoting safe access for all ages and abilities to explore the unique history, culture, flora, and fauna of the Lakeshore and surrounding communities. Project partners have worked for over a decade to create the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, a community asset that provides residents and visitors a safe pathway to experience this extraordinary natural area.
