River trail master plan improvement areas identified

As part of the ongoing development of a master plan for a proposed river trail in St. Joseph County, five areas for immediate river-access improvements have been identified.
The locations are: Portage River at Carpenter Road in Lockport Township, Prairie River at Hoshel Park in Lockport Township, Fawn River at East Fawn River Road in Fawn River Township, and St. Joseph River at M-66 in Leonidas Township and Withers Road at the border of Florence and Constantine townships.
Future river-access improvements were identified at nine different locations throughout the county.
An updated link to the proposed plan is expected to be on the county’s website by the end of the week. Its web address is: stjosephcountymi.org.
