  • Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) Grants for 5 Active Or Completed Projects
    The COUNTY ALCONA MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND was established under the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund Act of 1976 to provide a permanent funding source for the public acquisition of land for resource protection and public outdoor recreation. Funding is provided by revenue derived from royalties on the sale and lease of state-owned oil, gas and mineral rights. This landmark piece of legislation came to fruition thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Michigan Oil and Gas Association, Michigan United Conservation Clubs and state legislators on behalf of all Michigan citizens. The MNRTF has contributed immeasurably to protecting our state’s natural beauty and helped paved the way for wise and prudent development of our state’s abundant energy resources. To date, the MNRTF has awarded over $1.1 billion in grants to Michigan’s state and local parks, waterways, trails and nature preserves throughout all 83 counties. Of this total, $245 million has been invested in trails. In excess of 1,000 public parks have been acquired and / or developed. Other projects funded include ball fields, tennis courts, trailheads, restrooms and other amenities, for a total of just under 2,500 MNRTF-assisted projects since 1976. ALCONA COUNTY Alcona County has received $644,100 in Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) grants for 5 active or completed projects.

  • Upper Peninsula Drive
    RV Traveler's Roadmap to Upper Peninsula Drive Sprawled out like a running squirrel—its hindquarters linked to Minnesota and Wisconsin, its head reaching eastward into Ontario, Canada—Michigan’s Upper Peninsula was the forested hunting ground of Hiawatha and the Ojibwa tribe. 1 Highlights & Facts For The Ideal Experience Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Trip Length: Roughly 395 miles, plus side trips Best Time To Go: Spring, summer, fall Ferry: Service to Mackinac Island from St. Ignace and Mackinaw City begins in spring and continues to December or January as weather permits. Must See Nearby Attractions: If you happen to be near the Mackinac Bridge on Labor Day, join the crowd of 40,000 who hike the span between St. Ignace and Mackinaw City. City of Marquette Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum (Whitefish Point) Museum of Ojibwa Culture (St. Ignace) 2 Traveler's Notes Mackinac Bridge Meander along the shores of lakes Michigan, Huron, and Superior for three breathtaking drives on The Inland Seashore. Roadside parks and pull-outs await for picturesque overlooks, beach-side breaks, and picnic lunches. Drive west on US-2 from St. Ignace to Naubinway and feast your eyes upon the inlets and bays of Lake Michigan. The Cut River Bridge provides a scenic vista, as well as a picnic area and trails to explore. Public lands along US-2 are dotted with beaches perfect for walking, sunbathing, and swimming. Drive west along Lakeshore Drive in Brimley and watch the changes unfold. First off, the name of the road changes to the Curly Lewis Memorial Highway. After passing the Point Iroquois Lighthouse and Pendill’s Creek Fish Hatchery, the road parallels Whitefish Bay, where clean (although cool) waters await swimmers and miles of sandy beach are yours for the exploring.
