[nfbmi-talk] FW: Enjoy Michigan Trails Week fun, fitness with events at state parks

Thu Sep 17 10:27:33 UTC 2015

Hello,

Here are some really fun looking events and activities.  Even if you cannot participate in 1 or more of these events, here is a great list of possible outdoor activities.  the health and spiritual benefits of being outdoors are immense.  In addition, seeing white canes or guide dogs out on the trails is a great way to show the public how we are “living the lives we want.”

Warmest Regards,

Fred

Many events are free, but prices vary by event, and a Recreation Passport is required for vehicle entry to state parks and trails.

With more than 12,000 miles of trails, Michigan is the perfect destination for hikers, bicyclists, paddlers, snowmobilers, equestrians, off-road vehicle enthusiasts and everyone who likes to explore the great outdoors. Michigan Trails Week is a collaboration among the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the Michigan Recreation and Park Association, the Michigan Trails & Greenways Alliance and Pure Michigan. 

These events will culminate on National Public Lands Day, Sept. 26, when people are invited to support and preserve Michigan’s public trails through volunteering, financial contributions or advocacy.
