In partnership with Acme Township, Nakwema Trailway is working on an essential connection between Bayside Park, the recently completed Acme Connector Trail, and Acme Road. This section of trail will begin at the southernmost Nakwema trailhead at Bayside Park, follow a scenic stretch of Acme Creek, and provide non-motorized access to the Deepwater Point Natural Area via shared roadway. In addition, the Deepwater Connector will create a key connection for neighborhoods and businesses to our 100-mile regional trail network.
Thank you for your incredible support of the Deepwater Connector crowdfunding campaign. With 104 donors and overwhelming generosity, we have reached our funding goals for this project. The Deepwater Connector is shovel ready and we anticipate trail construction beginning in September 2024.
