  • 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 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.

  • The Watersheds of Northeast Michigan
    The Watersheds of Northeast Michigan What is a Watershed? Did you know that everywhere you are, you’re within a watershed? A watershed is an area of land that contains a common set of streams, rivers and lakes that all drain into a larger waterbody. Watershed boundaries follow natural features of the landscape, such as a ridgeline or a height-of-land (see diagram at right). Watersheds include both the water features within the area, as well as the land surrounding those water bodies. As a result of the connected nature of a watershed, all activities on the land and water can affect the condition of the larger watershed. A watershed can be divided into progressively smaller watersheds, which are often referred to as subswatersheds. For example, the Klacking Creek Watershed is one of many subwatersheds that can be identified within the larger Rifle River Watershed. Likewise, the Rifle River Watershed itself is part of the larger Lake Huron Watershed. Watershed diagram: www.upperdesplainsriver.org Huron Pines is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and an equal opportunity provider. Our dynamic staff of ecologists, geographers, biologists and environmental educators think big and act quickly to ensure that Northeast Michigan’s watersheds and wild places will stay healthy and resilient for future generations. Located right in the center of the Great Lakes system, we have the unique privilege and responsibility to protect our treasured lands teeming with wildlife, and to sustain the world’s most important source of fresh water.
