Allegan State Game Area trail work day

Postby RickPlite » September 16th, 2009, 1:44 pm

Join us for a trail work day on Oct 4th as we reroute around an area with a very high water table that appeared this year. Approximately 1/2 mile of trail needs to be cleared and some sections bench cut. Meet at the headquarters which is located at the corner of 118th ave and 46th st. at 9:00 am. We will work until approximately 1:00 pm Tools and lunch provided. Plans are in the works to add singletrack trail in 2010!

I thought that the woods were off limits during hunting season? For example, Cannonsburg SGA is closed to mountain bikers becaues it is a game area. Are the Allegan woods any different?

I personally want to thank Greg. He drove all the way over here from Pickney to lend assistance. We got the re-route around the pond raked. It was a good turnout with 9, if I counted right, people there to help.

I am super excited about this!!!!!

Sean

Check with Ron. I believe he bought a mover he can tow on his quad and plans to volunteer for the DNR to keep the trail mowed and trimmed back. As far as new trail, the process is very slow. Hopefully something will come of it.
