Last Update: March 7, 2010
The next Friends group meeting will be: Tues. March 23rd, 2010 Note: Friends meetings are open to the public and public participation is encouraged.
The Ted Gondert memorial bike racks. Ted was an early and ardent trail supporter and member of the Friends group who passed away. We purchased three bike racks in his memory. Two bike racks have been installed, one at West rd., and the second in Richmond. The third is slated for the proposed park at 32 mile. Please note: People have been referring to these as "art pieces". They're bike racks and it's perfectly ok to chain your bike to it while your resting.
Apr. 5, 2009 - The Detroit Free Press: Hike-bike trails to expand 70 miles of Macomb County. An ambitious $8.5-million project is under way to connect several existing hike-bike trails into a giant, continuous loop that officials say will stretch from central to northern Macomb County and -- hopefully -- attract hikers, cyclers, runners and joggers from across the region. Click here for the complete story.
Trail Maps: (Updated May 2008) The Macomb Orchard Trail Commission has printed a glossy brochure with a map of the trail from Dequindre all the way to Richmond. We have reproduced the map as two PDF pages which you can view and print. NOTE: These are newer maps with miles. They are around 1.75 meg's each so they may take a few seconds to load if you're on a dialup line.
