Acme Connector

We are thrilled to share that the Acme Connector is OFFICIALLY OPEN! Investing in trails is investing in people. As the first official segment of the Nakwema Trailway, this project is a catalyst in providing critical connections to support happy, healthy, resilient individuals and communities. Many thanks to the Acme trail team, generous donors, government partners, and local residents who pitched in to make the critical connection a reality.

While the Connector is officially open, it's still not complete. Please bear with us as the finishing touches are still in progress. This includes a closed section that will eventually pass through the KOTI development. This small, yet central section, will be closed and barricaded while project partners work to establish a safe connection through the property.

We look forward to celebrating it's official opening with you on October 25 at the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony complete with afterglow festivities at Stone Hound Brewing. More here.

Preparing for Planning & Design in Eastport Area

In July, the Torch Lake Township Board approved a resolution supporting early design efforts for the Nakwema Trailway in Torch Lake Township. Working with resident trail champions and our team of planning and engineering consultants, we are preparing to launch planning for the Nakwema Trailway in the Torch Lake Village-Eastport area of Torch Lake Township. Stay tuned for opportunities to engage and help inform trail routing and design.
