Army National Guard training at Horseshoe Lake boating access site

WLUCTV

(Marquette County, MI) - The Michigan Army National Guard will be conducting on-the-ground training at Horseshoe Lake boating access site in Marquette County. The training begins today and runs thru next Monday.

Work will include graveling, shaping and crowning the access road to the boating access site on Horseshoe Lake located south of Republic.

During the training, the road to the boating access site will be closed. Additional boating opportunities nearby are available at Witch Lake, Twin Lake and Squaw Lake.

The program falls under the U.S. Department of Defense Innovative Readiness Training program, which provides training opportunities that increase deployment readiness of the Army National Guard, while performing services that benefit public lands.

The project will be completed by the 1432nd Engineer Company based in Kingsford and 1437th Engineer Company based in Sault Ste. Marie – both part of the 107th Engineer Battalion – as part of their monthly training cycle.
