Bridgeport Township - Cass River Water Trail

The Cass River Greenways Committee (CRG) has been actively working to promote the Cass River for recreation.  Since 2010, Spicer Group has assisted the CRG and multiple communities along the Cass River corridor to develop launch sites, including Bridgeport, Frankenmuth, Tuscola and Vassar. In the future, the CRG plans to extend the water trail to other communities along the Cass River north to Cass City.

Each project began with Spicer’s assistance in writing the community’s Recreation Plan, which then moved into writing a DNR grant application, and, once awarded, into design, permitting and construction.

Bridgeport developed two canoe/kayak launch sites, one at Davis Park, the other at Hoffmann Park.  Both sites include a floating dock specifically designed for ADA access, parking lot, a paved path down to the launch and interpretive signage.
