Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) officials today announced that portions of the Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park are closed due to unsafe conditions. Wind storms and spring run-off have left the trail with downed trees, flooding and debris. Portions of trail in Mecosta and Montcalm counties have the worst damage; however, caution should be used while on any part of the 92-mile trail.
DNR crews and the Friends of the White Pine Trail are actively working to reopen the closed areas. However, the extent of the damage is still being reviewed, and at this time, there is no estimated date for the reopening. For more information, contact Josh Pellow at 231-775-7911.
