What better way to kick off Michigan Trails Week than to share information about the upcoming Township millage proposal for Parks & Trails! On the November 8 ballot Township voters will be asked to consider a 0.5 mill proposal. Information is available on the Township website and in this info-graphic. Get outside and enjoy the many parks and trails in our area.

Here is a first look at the Tails & Trails Park Master Plan. This plan was adopted by the Parks Commission last night to help guide future decision-making. The plan includes a 1 mile outer loop and 0.6 mile inner loop that could be used as a cross-country running course and all season community trail.

Community members from RiverWood Council, Saugatuck High School Cross-Country Coaches, and Jon Vanderbeek provided substantial input into the trail development and possible future uses of the space. We look forward to working with the community to turn this vision into a reality.

Please do not use the Tails n Trails wooded trail. The gate is open to allow a fawn that was separated from its mother to reunite. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
