Rogers City Trail System

The City of Rogers City retained Beckett & Raeder, Inc. to facilitate the planning process for the Rogers City Park Linkage Plan and Coastal Zone Management Update. The project, partially funded by a Coastal Zone Management Grant, identified the appropriate character and type of activity to support and enhance the recreation demand in Rogers City. It builds on Rogers City’s greatest assets: The unspoiled Lake Huron Shoreline and significant natural resources, beautiful lakefront parks and conservation areas, a successful municipal marina, and active downtown. The main objective of the plan was to improve non-motorized access to Lake Huron and to recommend a route and methods to link all of the city’s lakefront parks.

The project includes the construction of four miles of continuous, barrier-free path to connect to major public parks along the Lake Huron Shoreline. The path parallels the shoreline for approximately 3.5 miles. Except for a few short connections along city streets, the path can be accommodated along its own right-of-way separating it from vehicles. The path traverses several parks including Lakeside Park, North Shore Park, South Shore Park, Seagull Point and the 400 acre Herman Vogler conservation area.
