Tobic Towers

Spicer Group was hired by the Friends of the Bay City State Recreation Area to rehabilitate the Tobico Towers, located in the Bay City State Recreation area in Bangor Township. The project included final design, bidding assistance, and construction administration.

Upgrades to the towers included structural improvements, deck replacement, added handrails, and the addition of metal mesh to the railings. All of these improvements made the towers much safer and brought them up to all codes and regulations.

Both towers are four-stories, 75-feet-tall and have 20-foot by 20-foot viewing platforms at the top. They are located along the trails of the Tobico Marsh along the Saginaw Bay, an 1,848-acre wildlife refuge that has both paved and wooded trails for hiking, biking and cross-country skiing.
