The City of Escanaba Recreation Director Kim Peterson is pleased to announce the completion of boardwalk and signage at the approximate 1,260 acre West Side Recreation Area, often referred to as North 30th or the Old Ski Hill area.
Approximately 2,000 feet of boardwalk was constructed during 2020 and 2021 to provide better access to the approximate 12-miles of existing trail system.
In 2022, new signage was established to identify the trail locations and recreational uses such as hiking, cross country skiing, biking, and snowshoeing.
The three phase project was made possible through a generous financial contribution from the Rotary of Escanaba and District 6220, with additional funding from the Hannahville Indian Community, Escanaba Community Foundation for Delta County, Visit Escanaba, Mike Segorski, and the Delta County Non Motorized Trails Organization.
Volunteers contributed over 2,000 hours of time to construct the boardwalks and signage. The WSRA supports a variety of natural upland and lowland community types with a diversity of animal and plant life. Special thanks to Glenn Vande Water and Mike Segorski, for contributing tireless volunteer time to ensure the project success. The City of Escanaba appreciates their involvement and vision for the future of this property.
