 area where timber salvage is being done (photo from the NCTA) |
from the North Country Trail Association
Only one section of North Country Trail remains closed after a spring ice storm devastated 100 miles of it in Michigan's Northern Lower Peninsula. This segment, between Kipp and Valley Roads near Petoskey, is still closed as the Michigan Department of Natural Resources conducts timber salvage work. On state forest land, the DNR had to assess the situation before allowing volunteers in to do clearing work. This section was deemed salvageable.
Fortunately, the NCTA Regional Coordinator for Michigan, Kenny Wawsczyk, has been teaming up with Harbor Springs Chapter volunteers to scout these segments to help plan, and to keep trail crews and trail users updated.
Extensive cleanup and tree removal was necessary in the spring of 2025 after the storm that caused extensive damage across the northern Lower Peninsula. Dozens of trained volunteers cleared the remaining sections of the trail.
