Go for a walk in the woods and check out our new StoryWalk. We're still putting the finishing touches on it but the story panels are all installed and look amazing!
The start of the StoryWalk is where the trails cut into the woods by the horseshoe pits. We'll continue to improve signage throughout the summer.
Come out and read about Oskar's Voyage! A great story with educational elements about the iron industry and Great Lakes Shipping.

Update on CR492&M-35 road construction:

Marquette County Road (CR) 492 will be closed and detoured beginning July 6 as part of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) project converting the M-35/CR 492 intersection in Eagle Mills to a modern roundabout.

CR 492 will be closed to through-traffic from the US-41/CR 492 intersection in Negaunee to just west of the M-35/CR 492 intersection, with traffic detoured onto US-41 to M-35. CR 492 will remain open to local traffic. The detour is expected to be in place for approximately three weeks.

The work is part of the $6.2 million project to rebuild more than 3 miles of M-35 in Marquette County between CR 480 and US-41. Work will include crushing and shaping the existing pavement, new asphalt pavement, widening existing paved shoulders, realigning the M-35/CR 492 intersection and converting it to a roundabout, grading, and tree clearing at various locations for safety improvements.

Work started in early May and is expected to be completed in mid-October.
