Last week, the Village of Elk Rapids received exciting news from the Michigan Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP). Phase 1 of the Nakwema Trailway Elk Rapids to Maple Bay segment secured a conditional funding commitment of $2 million. This development provides critical momentum for this generational project. We are grateful to the Village for its leadership and to the community for its support. Huge shout-out to our Elk Rapids Trail Team for their hard work!
