Questions on when trail paving repairs will be addressed:

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.
