The village of Central Lake in Antrim County, Michigan, is working to transform Thurston Park to make it accessible for all. Paddle Antrim, the Village of Central Lake, and Central Lake Lions are working together to enhance the park, a centerpiece of the community. These improvements will create safe, accessible pathways, connecting all visitors to the park's amenities.
The park is already an access point on the 100-mile Chain of Lakes Water Trail. Enhancing water trail access will strengthen the community's economic vitality, drawing visitors who support the small businesses that make up Central Lake's vibrant downtown. This is economic impact rooted in access, community, and stewardship.
Improvements underway include:
• A universally accessible canoe/kayak launch
• A boat wash station for protecting our lakes from invasive species
• Kayak/Canoe/SUP Rack
• Updated parking with ADA spaces and a loading/unloading zone near the kayak/canoe launch.
• Safe, accessible sidewalks through the park, connecting to downtown, the kayak launch and nearby courtesy docks, and to the pavilion and restrooms.
• Universally accessible picnic tables, bench, and drinking fountain.
• Universally accessible restrooms - including an adult changing station.
• Accessible parking spaces near the pavilion
Donations are being accepted.
