DNR secures easements for more than 100 miles of recreational trail in Baraga and Marquette counties

MARQUETTE, MI— The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has purchased nearly 103 miles of primarily snowmobile trail easements in Baraga and Marquette counties.

The easements were purchased by the DNR for $1.8 million from L’Anse and Escanaba-based Lyme Great Lakes Timberlands. Funding came from the DNR’s permanent snowmobile easement fund.

Eight of the trail miles will be designated as multi-use, including off-road vehicle use, with the remainder for snowmobiles only.

A map of the trail sections can be found here.
