Iosco County Exploration Trail

In 2014, Spicer Group completed a study for Iosco County for a proposed 34-mile trail that would connect Oscoda to Hale via the River Road National Scenic Byway. Routes were examined and cost estimates were developed which were then used to apply for a grant to help fund the project. The results of the study were presented to the path committee in March of 2014. At that time, the group felt that the first phase of the trail they would like to complete was from the Au Sable River westward to Oscoda High School. Spicer Group was hired to assist in developing grant applications for the MDNR Trust Fund program, the MDOT TAP program and the FLAP program. All these grants have been awarded so the project was funded and could move forward. Spicer Group also did work completing an engineering analysis and evaluation of the field and laboratory data for this project and providing bidding assistance, survey work, construction engineering and construction administration.
