The National Guard will lend their expertise to help with much-needed repairs and renovations to several of our cabins, roads, parking lots and the Goose Pond trail, as well as the construction of a new, accessible playground.

Thanks to the Michigan Army National Guard for sharing their engineers to update our beautiful park.
