Nearly 2 miles of grass and stoned walking trails are now available for use by the public at the Grass Lake Community Sports and Trails Recreation Park located on Willis Road between W. Michigan Avenue and Winegar Road. The majority of the funding for the project came from a grant from the Chelsea Area Wellness Foundation. The Foundation gave the township a $42,000 grant to help with the trails. The remainder of the $44,600 bid was donated by the contractor on the job, Bailey Sand and Gravel. Click here to see a slideshow exhibiting different areas of the path. (This is a large file. Use the "down" key to scroll through it.) This slideshow also includes an aerial view of the park indicating the trail routes. Thank you to Jim Stormont for preparing this slideshow. The public is invited to enjoy this valuable resource.
