HOUGHTON, MI-- The Department of Natural Resources is reevaluating work done on Houghton County trails following heavy rains last week.
Initial reports received late Thursday indicate runoff from the rainfall had undermined progress made over some parts of the trail system, while in other areas repairs remained intact. Central Upper Peninsula Trails Specialist Rob Katona says crews expect to find additional damage, primarily to sites that were previously damaged in June and have not been restored.
Trail closures remaining in effect include the Freda Grade Route, the Chassell to Houghton Trail, and the Lake Linden route south of Normand Road. The Hancock to Calumet Route is open with local reroutes. The Bill Nicholls Trail is open south of Obenhoff Road.
