Trailhead Dedication and Ribbon Cutting
The Kalkaska Downtown Development Authority (DDA), Village of Kalkaska (VOK), North Country Trail Association (NCTA) and Grand Traverse Chapter are excited to celebrate the grand opening of our new US-131 Kalkaska Trailhead and rerouted NCT trail into the Village of Kalkaska over the new Boardman River Boardwalk!
The celebration takes place on Saturday, May 31st, includes a Trailhead Dedication with Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 11:30am, guided hikes of two distances (2.25 miles and 6 miles), and ends with a free community picnic at Railroad Square.
No parking will be available at the trailhead for this event, but a shuttle bus service will be provided from the Kalkaska Municipal parking lot at Third and Walnut Street to the hike starting points.
Meet at 8:00am for the long hike and 9:30am for the short hike. Both hikes will end at the new trailhead.
For those who do not plan to hike, a shuttle bus will be available to transport you from the municipal lot to the new trailhead at 10:30am.
After a short ceremony, shuttle busses will again be available to shuttle attendees and hikers the half mile to Railroad Square for the picnic.
