Tuscola 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.

Tuscola Township was the first site along the Cass River to develop a concrete canoe launch.  The launch extends into the water to provide an accessible path for canoers / kayakers.  The project also included a gravel drive and parking, a vaulted restroom and interpretive signage.
