MI TRALE encourages public comment for the Ottawa National Forest’s proposed South Branch of the Orntonagon River Canoe Landing Project. The Ottawa National Forest has proposed creating a new carry-in canoe launch and parking area along a segment of the south branch of the Ontonagon River, formerly owned by UPPCO. A clearing in the area, formerly a camp, would create an optimal midway point between existing landings further upstream and downriver. The project proposes to build a 515-foot long 36-inch wide portage trail, that follows an existing foot trail from a new parking lot to the river bank. The National Forest Service will seek to create an accessible space for outdoor users that also limits future erosion. The Canoe/kayak launch project proposal public comment period will remain open until October 31st. Those interested in finding more information on the project can find details here or find a file for submitting a public comment to the Ottawa National Forest here.
