Real Estate Transactions Secure Permanent Trail Easements
Michigan’s DNR purchased 67 miles, with a price tag of $985,969, in an effort to secure permanent trail easements and improve existing trail connectivity. The purchase spans Dickinson, Gogebic, Houghton, Iron and Ontonagon counties in the Upper Peninsula. The purchases were funded, in part, by the Michigan Permanent Snowmobile Easement Fund. The bulk of the purchase is for snowmobile trail use, but multi-use trail opportunities may be in the future.
