The N.E.W.
Missaukee Fitness Trail
& Native Gardens
Summer of 2009 was very exciting for the trail. Native seeds were started by students at McBain Public and Northern Michigan Christian for garden expansions. This was made possible by a grant through Wild Ones from the Lorrie Otto Foundation "Seeds for Education Fund". Also, bring your GPS because two geocaching sites are in place.
Michigan Works! Earn and Learn Summer Program partnered with us last summer. They cleaned up the trail, cut out spotted knapweed, placed wood chips and put up "You are Here" maps on the first extension. They plant the native plants that were started by seeds, weeded the gardens, and much more. They are a hardworking crew and much appreciated.
A weatherproof box is placed outside the northeast entrance to the building. It contains trail guides and maps for you to use at your convenience.
The N.E.W. (Nature's Exciting Wonders) Missaukee Fitness Trail & Native Gardens, located at Missaukee County Offices north of Lake City at 6180 W. Sanborn Road (building known as the Health Department) is a Missaukee County treasure for all to enjoy.
Interpretive markers have been placed throughout the trail for viewing interpretation with an accompanying brochure explaining the various markers being developed. Plant description markers have been placed. Future plans include markers for exercise enhancement. Benches have been interspersed for resting and peaceful enjoyment of the area.
Dozens of people donated their time to implement a public trail at the Missaukee County Offices for many reasons. They have included the betterment of the community and spending time outdoors. Whatever the reason, this trail matches many moods including: curiosity, serenity, fun, relaxation, health, well-being.
Area businesses are also supporting this project. They have donated the use of heavy equipment for tree removal and trail completion. Without their help, this project would not be ready for your use. We owe many thanks to Voelker Implement Sales Inc., Harvestore, Ellens Equipment, and Hydrolake Leasing, as well as Missaukee County Road Commission for their generosity.
Volunteers are always appreciated. Give our office a call at 231.839.7193 and let us know how you'd like to help!
