St. Joseph County website updated with river trail information

The latest PowerPoint presentation regarding a proposed river trail concept has been added to St. Joseph County’s website.
The document shows the current state of the St. Joseph County River Trail Master Plan, including initial concept plan sketches following simultaneous meetings last week in Three Rivers and Sturgis.
Input to landscape architect Suzanne Fromson of Edgewater Resources is welcome via email to sfromson@edgewaterresources.com.
Cost estimates for the concept are currently being finalized and will be included at a later date.
Based on public input and their own observations, Edgewater officials have identified five water-access locations for development to benefit canoeists and kayakers. They are: the Portage River at Parkville Road in Park 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.
