BEAVER ISLAND, Mich. (AP) — A new water trail that circumnavigates Beaver Island in northern Lake Michigan is ready for use after more than five years of work.
A dedication event for the Beaver Island Water Trail is planned for Sept. 1 at the Beaver Island Community Center. Organizers say the 43-mile non-motorized trail includes routes over shipwrecks. Those involved say family friendly areas to paddle include Paradise Bay and the island's inland lakes.
