5/22/205 The Paving is COMPLETE! The full White Pine Trail is paved!
9/5/2025 Multiple concerns are being received regarding the condition of the trail from the Ball Park in Comstock Park to Cedar Springs. We appreciate your concern and your interest in maintaining the usability of the White Pine Trail.
Currently, this section of the trail is indeed in need of maintenance. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Friends of the White Pine Trail are actively working to address these issues. We are committed to ensuring that the trail remains a safe and enjoyable experience for all users.
If you are interested in contributing to the maintenance efforts, we would be pleased to welcome volunteers. Your support can make a significant difference in the upkeep of the trail.
Additionally, the DNR and Friends of the White Pine Trail are seeking funding to repave certain sections of the trail. One effective way to assist in this effort is by reaching out to local legislators to advocate for continued funding for the maintenance of the White Pine Trail. Your voice can help us secure the necessary resources to enhance this vital community asset.
If you would like more information on how to get involved or if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your support in keeping the White Pine Trail a wonderful place for everyone to enjoy.
JUST CONFIRMED:
The culvert replacement and root repair on the trail in the ball park area is planned for next spring. The contractor's quote has been reviewed by the Friends and DNR for approval. The next planning meeting will occur this December. Work is being delayed until next spring to insure that the new paving will properly set before the cold weather.
NOTE:
Big Rapids area trail repair project is active and in the FUNDING STAGE. See Donate section to help with this funding.
