Be careful out there! Fire danger is expected to remain high through the weekend 

Whether you’re staying at home to clean up the yard or traveling north for a little fall color, keep fire safety in mind. Due to dry conditions, fire danger is elevated throughout the state.

“As you go north this weekend to enjoy the beautiful fall weather, be aware that most of Michigan is experiencing high to very high fire danger. These conditions are expected to continue until early next week,” said Paul Rogers, fire prevention specialist for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. 

There were 26 wildfires in Michigan last week, burning more than 170 acres, and some areas of the Upper Peninsula are in drought conditions. See the drought map.

“Almost the entire state is abnormally dry,” Rogers said. “Conditions will persist and become even more dry until we get enough rain.”

High winds are forecasted Friday, making conditions even more dangerous. Permits for burning yard debris are currently restricted for most locations in northern Michigan; check the website for permit status. People who plan to burn in the southern Lower Peninsula should check with their fire department or local municipality before burning; most of them are not issuing permits at this time.

Use caution when pulling trailers to make sure chains are not dragging. This can create sparks and ignite fires along the route. Also be careful when using power equipment such as saws or lawn mowers or anything else that could cause a spark outside.

If you have a campfire for cooking or warming, try to build it after 6 p.m. when the day has cooled and the sun is going down. Always have a pail of water or a garden hose nearby along with some hand tools such as a shovel or rake in case the fire escapes its ring.

JULY 2024 Courtney Trails Update – AND – Other Places to Ride

MI-TRALE and our partners at The Ottawa National Forest have been busy on the ground and behind the scenes.

Here is what is going on:

Select COURTNEY EQUESTRIAN CAMPSITES TEMPORARILY CLOSED

MI-TRALE WEB

We recently added a link to “The Michigan Horse Trail Directory” website that offers EQ trails, campgrounds and more information about EQ recreation across the state. It is a very complete list. It was developed by folks from the DNR Equine Trail Subcommittee. They gave us permission to share a link to the directory on our web. Check it out and plan your rides! (We are looking forward to posting the NEW Courtney Trail map, once it is done.)

LOGGING SALES

If you recall, there have been several logging sales on or around the trails over the past many years. Signs and maps were removed from the trails to protect those resources and to make way for the logging equipment. There remains one logging sale on the far reaches of the trails south of the Firesteel River. Yet, it seems none of those sales have interfered with people getting out and enjoying the trails. We have seen the improvements the loggers made to the trails, and we followed up to correct a few issues and repost all the signs along the trails. What an accomplishment!

TRAIL MAINTENANCE

Spring maintenance is done! Volunteers followed up by once again combing the trails to perfection. Saplings, downed trees and brush are gone. Because of all the hard work clearing trails and updating maps over the past two years, and a rather mild winter, it took only one day for a few of us to get the trails ready for 2024 riding. Two members brought in personal equipment and thankfully finished covering the sharp mine rock on the trail with soft gravel. This offers comfort to the horses. No more ouchy feet. A huge THANK YOU to all of our volunteers.

NEW UPDATE-MISERY BAY

If you remember back a few years ago the sands were lost at Misery Bay, east of Ontonagon, thus riders lost the opportunity to ride the shores of Lake Superior. WELL–Gitche Gumee has done it again!! Only in reverse and has brought back the sands. The Horseback riding opportunity to ride the Lake Superior Shoreline is happening now at Misery Bay. The beauty and force of a vast lake that meets the vast sky is something you want to experience.  We promise! Head out for that fantastic ride this summer!

FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS / WORK IN PROGRESS

(Funding for all of this is offered by The Ottawa National Forest and a small grant offered to MI-TRALE for the shared non-motorized trails.)

-New Courtney Trail Map

-New trailhead near the campground

-New trail loop

-Gates vs Berms on the non-motorized area of the trails that surround the lake and campground

-Corral / Highline pad expansions

-Manure bunkers

Many of the trails are shared by other users. On the Courtney Trails, we have posted trail courtesy signs that educate everyone about safety when we meet other riders on the trails. We have met many good people out there. It has always been a pleasure to encounter them. If you find that the trails need attention when you are out there, please contact me at: to let me know. You can also easily join MI-TRALE and become part of this fun, dedicated group of volunteers! Have a great summer and make great memories in Western Michigan’s great outdoors.

EQUESTRIAN NEWS – FALL 2023

THANK YOU TO OUR MI-TRALE VOLUNTEERS

There are always ongoing needs out on the trails. We are on it. Throughout 2023, sixteen volunteers met throughout the year to work together on The Courtney Multiuse Trails and campsites. Needs were met for clearing the trails, posting maps and confidence markers. Many hours of work, tools in hand. As an example, two volunteers put in 6 hours each to clear fallen trees from on the river crossing, and there was much more. Thank you very much. Anyone can join us. It is fun and rewarding to keep the trails ready for people to ride. And, they have been enjoying these beautiful trails and campground. Many visitors have been sharing their thoughts and thanks for all we do.

Next spring, we will contract to widen the corral pads which will offer a more stable and safer place for our horses. Currently only three of six campsites have corrals. Next year we will be installing corrals at the remaining three sites.

How was your 2023 riding season? Did you make it out to Courtney? If not, check it out. If you would like to help, please let me know. Any little bit helps and you will not regret working with the positive volunteers from MI-TRALE.

FUTURE PROJECTS BEING CONSIDERED

-New location for the Trailhead. It will identify all users on the trails and offer needed information for all

-campground reservation by QR code option for visitors

-Possible manure bunker

-Removal of Berms (though we can get around them, trail improvements are on the table)

-Possible new trails to connect and create loops within the trail system and a few other small changes

ENJOY THE TRAILS AND YOUR FELLOW TRAIL RIDERS

Winter riding is a bit more challenging for equestrians, but we do it. The summer riding season is just not long enough for some of us. We love all the seasonal changes here as they have a beauty all their own. Many of the Courtney Trails are actually Forest Service roads where you might interact with and share the roads with motorized vehicles. Remember part of the trail system is enjoyed by cross- country skiers. Once groomers have set the tracks for skiers, we must respect their passion and efforts and stay off the groomed tracks. Let’s have fun out there as we meet up with other trail users.

We are very encouraged by your support. Ever helping hand has made a big difference.

From your Equestrian Director, Cathy Wainio

EQUESTRIAN NEWS – SPRING 2023

CONVERSION PROJECT ONGOING

If you have visited The Courtney Equestrian Trails and Courtney Lake Campground, you have already seen the improvements: 6 campsites open and improved for equestrians.  There are highlines, corrals, clear enjoyable trails, beautiful river crossing, new kiosk with valued information, new latrines, new fire rings, picnic tables and lantern poles.  The Forest Service did repairs to the pumps for potable water within the campground. We met with the Forest Service recently and are working on plans for more improvements.  We will be checking the trails as soon as the snow is gone, to make sure they are ready for you to ride.  This is fast becoming a popular “Go To” place to ride, hike, kayak and to enjoy a quiet fireside at the campsites specially set up for you and your horse.

MI-TRALE EQ CAMPSITES GRAND OPENING – MAY 21, 2022 If you have been following our Equestrian news you are aware of this happy event.  It was great to share the accomplishments with MI-TRALE volunteers and The Ottawa National Forest.

NEW VOLUNTEERS – We appreciated the help of our dedicated volunteers.  This past summer they helped to get the trails in tip-top shape.  We spent approximately 180 hours of our personal time at the table and on the ground to make these trails and amenities available.  A huge THANK YOU to you all.

TRAIL RIDERS – DAILY VISITS – For people visiting trails for the day, you are welcome to park across the road from the Day Use Area.  Potable water is available in the campground.  We are planning more improvements, another busy year for volunteers.  If you can help, that would be great. Trails at Courtney are multiuse, yet quiet and very relaxing.  It is a place where folks are happy to be.

TRAILS NORTH OF HWY M-38 CONSIDERED – These trails are not marked, but are easy to follow.  They are mainly DNR road that are sandy and quiet.  Cross the highway from there and you are at The Courtney EQ Trails.  Here is the newly repaired bridge on the route.  It is also a good place to offer your horse a sweet cool drink of water.

THERE ARE LOTS OF FOLKS OUT ON THE TRAILS.  ENJOY!

Visit “mi-trale.org” for updates and more recreational opportunities.  Happy trails everyone!

June 2022 Equestrian Update

COURTNEY CAMPGROUND EQUESTRIAN CONVERSION – GRAND OPENING

We are enjoying the accomplishments that our Equestrian Committee has worked so hard on for a number of years. We celebrated together with the Ottawa National Forest at the May 21^st Grand Opening of the Equestrians Campsites at the Courtney Lake Campground. Thanks goes out to everyone who helped with the “Red Tape”, plans and the hands-on work to get the campground, trails and river crossing ready for this summer’s riding season: MI-TRALE, Freedom Reins Horse Club and Ottawa National Forest.

Barbara Van Alstine, ONF District Ranger and Janet Miesbauer, MI-TRALE Vice President performed the ribbon cutting. Snacks, soft beverages and cake was enjoyed by all. Sincere words of appreciation were exchanged among all that were there. It was a wonderful event, and we are still celebrating.

We shared stories, some history of the trail projects and of the very large trees we removed from the trails. Most logging sales are complete, so maps and trail markers are back in place. The event gave us the opportunity to discuss current projects and share ideas and make plans for upcoming improvements. Our great working relationships continues. So many caring people have contributed. We cannot thank them enough.

 

FALL 2021 EQUESTRIAN NEWS UPDATE – TRAILS AND CAMPGROUND

COURTNEY EQUESTRIAN CONVERSION PROJECT

Yes, we are very excited to announce that there has been a lot progress this year on The Courtney Campground Equestrian Conversion Project. We had all the plans and reviews in order and The Ottawa National Forest (ONF) offered funding through The Great American Outdoors Act, provided by the TPCD (Timber Sales Pipeline backlog funds). ONF offered 6 campsites to be set up for horses. There is a lot of work behind the scenes to accomplish such an undertaking. MI-TRALE volunteers worked with ONF for a few years toward goals, and were able to kick in gear this past summer. We and hit the ground and got a bunch done. The grant was closed in late September. Here is what was accomplished:

-A contractor cleared way and improved the ground where horses will be tied or corralled

-MI-TRALE installed high lines at three sites

-MI-TRALE installed corrals at three sites

-Installed a hitching post at each of two latrines and at campground entry’s kiosk

-Built and installed a mounting block

-Posted some signs at the campground. We will finish in the spring.

ONF will be installing a new kiosk and posting campground rules. This will be such a friendly place. Cannot wait to light the fire and relax, and ride the trails.

GRAND OPENING OF THE COURTNEY EQ CAMPSITES – tentatively set for May 21st 2022. Some of us will be camping there with our horses and we will find a way to celebrate with ONF and all of our Trails Buds!

FIRESTEEL RIVER CROSSING

Let’s not forget, you can now travel from the northern to the southern loops of the trail. Such a great improvement for us all.

LOGGING

There is still a small amount of logging out there. As you can imagine the trails look quite different after a logging project, but it offers wider and improved trails for us to enjoy.

TRAIL MAINTENANCE

Berms are still on the trails, but not keeping folks from riding. We hope to have them removed for next year. Once the loggers are done, we will put all the maps and confidence markers back out on the trails. A section of the trail east and south of the campground needs regular maintenance: clearing brush and checking on signs. And of course, we will check all the trails.

TRAILS NORTH OF HWY M-38 CONSIDERED

We are still considering a proposal to develop horse trails north of the highway. Most of the suggested routes are DNR roads, and will be quite easy to develop. Many of our local equestrians have already ridden there and given us a “thumbs up”.

If you have any questions about any of our projects or would like to join us to help, don’t hesitate to let us know. Your support is appreciated.

THERE ARE LOTS OF NICE FOLKS OUT ON THE TRAILS. ENJOY!

2020-2021 EQUESTRIAN TRAILS & CAMPING NEWS

We have had a very mild winter. Spring is just around the corner. We are waiting for summer riding and to enjoy the great trails here in the Western Upper Peninsula. Over the past year, MI-TRALE’s Equestrian Committee has been very busy. Behind the scenes, we are again joining discussions about more camping opportunities for equestrians and working to expand our list of places to ride, both on the Ottawa and on DNR properties. Upon the scene, we have good news to share.

THE COURTNEY EQUESTRIAN TRAILS READY TO RIDE – BECAUSE OF VOLUNTEERS

Arlyn and Sandy are cross country ski activists and MI-TRALE’s new friends on the trails, who are trained to clear trails and public use areas for National Parks and Recreations.  Their standard is a proactive approach to clearing trails, which means expertly clearing everything within a 10 ft span, and hauling debris 20 or so feet off trail. So pretty. We appreciate learning better ways to do things. Thank you Arlyn and Sandy.

If you have been keeping up with the news, the trails had not been fully maintained for a few years, largely because of active logging sales. We have been working hard to regain ground. Thanks to the mild winter, we were able to work through December, getting trails ready for winter recreation. With trails revived, hikers, cross country skiers and those on snow shoes have been able to enjoy the beauty of the forest.

How long does it take? This past summer 5 people spent 3 hours on a 1 mile stretch of the trail, later 5 more volunteers completed the task. On that on mile we logged over 75 hours of manpower. It was all hands-on work. Volunteers ranged from age 8 to 80. We truly appreciate the dedication and kind efforts of all the volunteers. Of course, now that logging projects are done, we spent many more hours maintaining the 14+ miles of trails, including reinstalling confidence markers and maps on the trails. There are three berms, but one can get past them. With a few more volunteer hours this spring, the trails should be in top shape.

COURTNEY LAKE CAMPGROUND – WITH HORSES

The ambitions and efforts of The Ottawa National Forest (ONF) has brought us more exciting news. We hope to see the campground open to horses this summer. We are anxious to team up with them to install high lines and hitching posts. More, if funds allow. There will be some rules of course for safety and enjoyment within the campground. This has been in the works for a number of years. We are so happy about it.

DID YOU SEE THE FIRESTEEL RIVER CROSSING?

The River Crossing is beautiful. This intensive project was solely provided by The Ottawa National Forest. It offers greater opportunities for equestrians, while protecting both the river and surrounding area environmentally. This crossing is the link between the north and south sections of the trails. It completes the system, allowing riders easy access to trails on the south side of the river. Gates on the trails leading to the crossing, both north and south of the river, prevent motorized use of the area.  Crossing water on motorized vehicles is against the law in Michigan, protecting the waters and the fish and others that live there.

OTHER DISPERSED AND POSSIBLE DESIGNATED HORSE CAMP GROUNDS ON THE OTTAWA:

And, we are not stopping there. This past summer we had fun driving around, seeking more places to camp and ride with horses. ONF has suggested a few places. As we work on our list, we consider some older campgrounds that are no longer up and running. There is no potable water, electric or latrines at those sites. Yet, they are open for public use. Some are near lakes and streams with logging tracs and Forest Service roads to ride. This summer we will continue this quest as we develop our list of places to enjoy. If you want to join the fun of exploring with us, do not hesitate to call.

WE ARE ADDING TO “The Bucket List”

-Paulding Pond through woods to the LL (a multiuse trail – is under repair at this time)

-North of M-38 across from the Courtney Lake area (where we are proposing new trails on DNR property)

-South of Courtney on some of our favorite sandy back roads (very pretty out there…mostly sandy roads)

-Himanka Hill Area 3 miles south of Bruce Crossing

-Rail road trestle ride (there are a few locations with trestles)

-Lake Superior Misery Bay

-Alligator Eye out look near Lake Gogebic (we would like to explore this area)

-Kill Deer Lake

-Tepee Lake Campground

AGAIN, IF YOU ARE WONDERING HOW TO SHARE THE TRAILS WITH OTHERS, here is what we suggest: take it easy, keep speeds low, watch ahead and behind…expect to meet others, be safe, have fun and enjoy the encounters with others. “Yield” to others for safety and courtesy on the trails: ORV’s yield to all other users, bikers yield to hikers and horses, hikers yield to horses. Stopping, turning your engine off and “speaking” to horses will let them know that you are a person…and not a threat to their safety. At times they do not recognize helmets or machines, but they recognize people and feel safe with them.

Please consider helping us out… We would appreciate it. Our contact information is listed below…

Happy trails everyone.

EQUESTRIAN TRAILS NEWS

11-1-2020 What happened in the last several months…

COURTNEY PROJECTS:. 

-We visited The Courtney Trails several times for much needed maintenance.  We replaced signs, maps and confidence markers.  We are now able, since several logging sales are complete. Loggers have left behind berms that need to be removed and exposed roots, posing a tripping hazard.  There is a stretch of the trail, we have not gotten to yet.

-The loggers have opened up the trails and some great views overlooking deep river ravines.  So pretty.

-Janet and I placed one geocache on the trails.  Holding off on more because of logging operations

-Visited the ski trails that ONF has suggested that equestrians share with skiers.  It is a beautiful area and much appreciated, added about 3 miles to the trails.

-Visited the new River Crossing.  It is epic; picturesque.

-The river crossing is closed to motorized traffic. There are gates placed on the north and south roads that lead to the river, with a post set to the side for horses and hikers to pass through.

-In that gate passage and on front and back of the gate poles are large metal reflectors and metal arms that secures them to gates.  Both have rather sharp edges and could prove a danger to horses legs and riders.  We have suggested they be removed and replaced with industrial grade reflector tape.

-We still have 80 yards of stock piled gravel. There are a couple locations to use it.

-We thought to use that gravel near the river crossing, as the road on the south side had such deep mud, it was impassable for horses and even hiker.  However, the contractor that put the crossing in place, was to improve that trail. So, our resources are still in tack.

-As previously reported. ONF with our help, has put together an application for National Forest Service funding.  The funding is for improvements and repairs on recreational properties.  The intent is for the campground.  We have not heard anything yet.

DISBURSED AND OTHER CAMP GROUNDS FOR HORSES ON ONF:

Per ONF suggestion, we have checked out 4 “closed” campgrounds and other disbursed camp sites between the US2 and M28 corridors, to see if we would like to use them for horses.  At these sites, there is no potable water or latrine.  We determined to seek for camp locations that also offered trails to ride.  Janet and I ventured out to check on them one day. Dick and I went on another.  We will be making our suggestions to ONF at some point in the future.  We gained insight and some great ideas.

POSSIBLE FUTURE EQ CAMPGROUND:

Not many days after Amber called me to ask what we thought about making Tepee Lake a Horse Campground.  There is new forest vegetation project in the works, and as we know logging can open up opportunities.  What a coincidence, Janet and I had just been there, and we like it.  So that is a possibility.  We are hopeful.  Near that campground are small waterfalls and more that may be good places to ride.  Things are happening.

DNR TRAIL PROPOSALS, NORTH OF THE COURTNEY EQ TRAILS:

We have GPS’d the trail, found a location for a highway crossing, and a possible new location for a shared trailhead.  All has been discusses with ONF, as they may need to collaborate with the DNR.  Stay tuned.

DNR & The Equine Trail Subcommittee: 

Janet and I joined a conference call recently, about a law proposal for setting up a new commission to manage fund for equestrians.  There were several other ideas for developing a system of funding that people are working on.  We will be joining another conference call in the near future to discuss needs on horse trails that we help to manage for the DNR.  We will report on that later.

We had several volunteers working on Ottawa for EQ recreation this year: Janet, Dick, myself, and Brianna, Mason and Gavin, our three grandchildren.  They love using nippers and loppers and working in the woods with us.  In all we pulled off 193 volunteer hours: work on the trails, phone calls, meetings, & emails with ONF, researching costs for the campground and checking out possible campgrounds for horses.

We have greatly enjoyed the progress and appreciate the confidence that ONF has in us

2019-2020 EQUESTRIAN TRAILS NEWS

The snow is rather deep up here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. But the horses take it in stride. Where the snow is not so deep and weather permits, many enjoy winter rides. And some use the time to retrain the horses and make plans for the summer riding season. MI-TRALE is using the time to plan for your recreational enjoyment. There are plans and there is work to do. Let’s talk about it.

1) COURTNEY EQUESTRIAN TRAILS & LOGGING –Yes, loggers work through the winter months. Not much has changed since the last notice. There are several logging sales on or near the trail system. Of the two on the eastern trails surrounding the lake, one is complete and the other is 95% complete. There, confidence markers are back in place, but there are is a berm and a small blockage that you will need to go around. You will find maps at the trail head that will tell you about the locations of the active logging projects. Ride in respect of the loggers and please be safe. We will keep you posted as more trails are cleared and logging sales are completed. The loggers have done a great job of opening up the roads that the trails are on, changing the appearance considerably. Also be aware that other roads that were rather hidden are now opened up. Feel free to explore, but don’t be surprised that it may not be clear where the actual trail is until we are able to replace confidence markers and maps. Remember almost all of the markers will be on carsonite posts instead of trees. Printable maps showing the trail route are available on the MI-TRALE and Ottawa National Forest web sites.

The river crossing is still on the table and will be considered after logging projects are complete.

Day by day things change as loggers harvest and effect the trail. We plan to ride and get a good report together for you in the spring. In the spring we will also be calling on volunteers to help maintain certain areas of the trail to make them read to ride. Since this newsletter will only go out once each year, you should stay tuned to our face book or web for updates.

2) COURTNEY LAKE CAMPGROUND BECOMING HORSE FRIENDLY – EXCITING NEWS!!! This project is still in the works. We have a good understanding of what is needed. We are working out the details and the cost of bringing in equipment for some of the campsites. We will be calling on volunteers to help. Looking forward to it.

3) ONTONAGON COUNTY’s Recreation Area – (plans are for both horse and ATV trails) The site is on county property on Himanka Road south of Bruce Crossing. This past summer MI-TRALE volunteers rode and checked out the project possibilities. This project seems to be resting, but the existing rough trails and logging tracts are being enjoyed by many.

4) CAMPING WITH HORSES –You can always camp in the forest or along the forest roads, as a “disbursed camper”. Check out the Ottawa National Forest or DNR webs for info.-Links are provided under the Resources Tab – Also there are area Resorts; google them for locations and call them. There are many that are horse friendly. Some on lakes or rivers with fire pits, etc. Check them out!

5) HORSE RIDES YOU CAN TAKE or AREAS TO EXPLORE– We will keep this list going…“The Bucket List” There are no definite days set for MI-TRALE horse rides. Visit MI-TRALE’s face book page for announcements, or add these to your personal list of great places to ride…

-Paulding Pond through woods to the LL (a multiuse trail – is under repair at this time)
-North of M-38 across from the Courtney Lake area (where we are proposing new trails on DNR property)
-South of Courtney on some of our favorite sandy back roads (very pretty out there…mostly sandy roads)
-Himanka Hill Area 3 miles south of Bruce Crossing (logging will soon be done – we can then explore)
-Rail road trestle ride (there are a few locations with trestles)
-Lake Superior Misery Bay
-Alligator Eye out look near Lake Gogebic (we would like to explore this area)
-Himanka Hill area south of Bruce Crossing

GET YER SADDLES OFF THE WALL PEOPLE! Get ready for spring and another great riding season.

AGAIN, IF YOU ARE WONDERING HOW TO SHARE THE TRAILS WITH OTHERS, here is what we suggest: take it easy, keep speeds low, watch ahead and behind…expect to meet others, be safe, have fun and enjoy the encounters with others. “Yield” to others for safety and courtesy on the trails: ORV’s yield to all other users, bikers yield to hikers and horses, hikers yield to horses. Stopping, turning your engine off and “speaking” to horses will let them know that you are a person…and not a threat to their safety. At times they do not recognize helmets or machines, but they recognize people and feel safe with them.

Please consider helping us out… We would appreciate it. Our contact information is listed below…

Happy trails everyone.
