1 B. Paint Creek Trail Connection to Historic Cider Mill, Fishing Platform
Oakland Township 2012 MNRTF Development Grant Application Paint Creek Trail Connection to Historic Cider Mill, Fishing Platform and Restrooms (4/2/12) B. Paint Creek Trail Connection to Historic Cider Mill, Fishing Platform and Restrooms I. Project Justification and Support A. Need for Project in Relation to Other Facilities and Opportunities including past recreation grants received, the condition of grant-assisted sites, and how the project relates to recreation plan Need for Project in Relation to Other Facilities and Opportunities The only restaurant facility located along the 6+ mile stretch of the Paint Creek Trail between Rochester and Lake Orion is the Paint Creek Cider Mill, located in the hamlet of Goodison. This facility is owned by the Charter Township of Oakland and houses both municipal offices as well as a cider mill concession that is open during the spring, summer and fall seasons. The cider mill café offers trail users the opportunity to buy drinks and food. Unfortunately, Paint Creek separates the trailway from the cider mill and there is not a non-motorized trail connection, forcing bicyclists and pedestrians to use Gallagher Road, alongside automobiles, in order to reach the entrance of the Paint Creek Cider Mill. Along this same stretch of the Paint Creek Trail, between Rochester and Orion Township, the only nearby public restrooms are located inside Oakland Township municipal buildings and therefore unavailable outside the Township’s hours of operation, which are typically 8:00 am – 4:30 pm Monday through Friday. Since the Paint Creek Trail hours of operation are from 6:00 am through 10:00 pm every day of the week there is a need to provide support facilities with hours of operation that would better match the needs of trailway users. -
