-Fish attended the Baraga Co. Trail Authority meeting.  In his opinion the trail through Arvon township would help find ORV’s that are stranded, but yet the cons in his mind is that if the ORV’s will respect our land in Arvon Township.  He said that the DNR wants to work with the communities.

There would also be an extra tag to be purchased if you use these trails.  The Baraga Co. Trail Authority is asking Arvon Township for $3,000.00 for this ORV program.  Marinich and Larson would like to have a special meeting on this matter before making any motions.  The special meeting will be June 30, 2021 at 6:30 pm at the Skanee Township hall.
