    100 Years of Michigan State Parks

    1 ourmidland.com 2 Page 2 | Week of May 6 -11, 2019 Which state park was Michigan’s first? As the DNR celebrates the 100th anniversary of Michigan state parks system, a natural question arises – what was Michigan’s first state park? Well, the answer depends on how you interpret the question and isn’t simple. The 2019 state parks centennial celebration is centered around the formation of the Michigan State Park Commission by the state Legislature on May 12, 1919. The commission was given responsibility for overseeing, acquiring and maintaining public lands and establishing Michigan’s state parks system. One of the state’s earliest purchases was the site of Interlochen State Park in 1917. Although the land was purchased prior to 1919, Interlochen was the first public park to be transferred to the Michigan State Park Commission in 1920 and is considered Michigan’s first state park. However, many consider Mackinac Island as Michigan’s first state park, which is also true. Approximately 25 years before legislation estab- lished the state park commission, the federal government gifted the Mackinac Island property it owned to the state in 1895. The island was designat- ed as Michigan’s first state park under the Mackinac State Park Commission. Because Mackinac Island is operated under the Mackinac State Park Commission and was not placed under the Michigan State Park Commission, there is more than one answer to the “first state park” question. Interlochen State Park The Michigan Legislature paid $60,000 for the land that became Interlochen State Park, located southwest of Traverse City, in 1917.

  • Recreation Inventory

    Recreation Inventory

    Recreation Inventory Developing a complete inventory of recreation facilities, programs and events is an essential component of a 5­year Recreation Master Plan because it provides a base of information to use in determining the future needs for the community. Understanding what is currently available to the residents of the Fremont Area will assist in decision­making in the future. This section is divided into two components: existing recreation facilities in the Fremont Area as well as Newaygo County and existing recreation programs and events. Each component includes an inventory of current available offerings and where available and relevant, capacity, level of use and number of participants data. Recreation Facilities Recreation facilities inventoried include those parks and equipment owned and operated by the City of Fremont, Sheridan Charter Township, Sherman Township, Bridgeton Township and Dayton Township, those facilities located on and managed by the Fremont Public School District, facilities on private school property, State of Michigan and finally significant recreation opportunities available to residents of the Fremont Area but outside of the planning boundaries. Once the park inventory was complete, each public park and school property was categorized as either a mini­park, neighborhood park or community park based on the following classification system for local and regional recreation open space developed by the National Recreation and Parks Association1: • A mini­park is an area of specialized facilities that serve a concentration or limited population or specific group, such as tots or senior citizens. It has a service area of less than ¼ mile in radius, with a desirable size of one acre or less.

  • Executive Summary

    Executive Summary

    Ontonagon River Assessment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This river assessment is one of a series of documents being prepared by Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), Fisheries Division, for Michigan rivers. This report describes the physical and biological characteristics of the Ontonagon River, discusses how human activities have influenced the river, and serves as an information base for future management activities. Our approach is consistent with Fisheries Division’s mission to “protect and enhance fish environments, habitat, and populations and other forms of aquatic life and to promote the optimum use of these resources for the benefit of the people of Michigan.” River assessments are intended to provide a comprehensive reference for citizens and agency personnel seeking information on a particular river. By compiling and synthesizing existing information, river assessments reveal the complex relationships between rivers, watershed landscapes, biological communities, and humans. This assessment shows the influence of humans on the Ontonagon River and provides an approach for identifying opportunities and addressing problems related to aquatic resources in the Ontonagon River watershed. We hope that this document will increase public awareness of the Ontonagon River and its challenges, and encourage citizens to become more actively involved in decision-making processes that provide sustainable benefits to the river and its users. This document consists of three parts: an introduction, a river assessment, and management options. The river assessment is the nucleus of the report. It provides a description of the Ontonagon River and its watershed in thirteen sections: geography, history, geology, hydrology, soils and land use, channel morphology, dams and barriers, water quality, special jurisdictions, biological communities, fishery management, recreational use, and citizen involvement.
