The West Homesites 1-15, will have the River Trails Road construction underway in mid to late May 2023. The final topping of gravel will be in late July or August, 2023. Road Construction now underway on entire system with goal to complete by fall, 2023.

Yes.

Current plan is to have individual satellite service as the internet provider.

Yes, and managed by the Condominium Association.

Current plan is to finish the roads with 22A at a depth of 6” compacted. While home construction is underway in the early years the gravel will be the road surface. In the future the Condominium Association can vote for a paving assessment if so desired.

Current trail planning is underway with Rock Solid Trails and based upon uses the developer will determine what trails will be public access and what trails to be held by Condominium Association.

It is anticipated that all trails will be open year-round with some being multi-use and some have specific use depending on final trail design. Hiking, running, biking, XC and snowshoe are activities we want to include in the various trail options. Homesites that have common boundaries with the trail open space will include an overlapping easement on the 30 foot setback that can be used for trail construction and use.

Trails along the Pilgrim River will be open to the public while trails internal may be private for property owners and guests.

We hope to see school bus service to the corner of Lahti Road and River Trails Road. The Houghton Middle School / High School is approximately 1.8 miles from the corner of River Trails Road and Lahti Road. The MTU trail system connects to the SDC and provides a hike / bike / XC connection to the Houghton Middle School / High School without crossing any roads.

Catch and Release will be encouraged while all anglers will adhere to State of Michigan fishing regulations.
