Lake Michigan Shoreline to Receive New Nature Preserve

The Lake Michigan shoreline will have a new nature preserve, that is expected to be open to the public next year.

The property where the reserve will be is currently the largest undeveloped and unprotected portion of the Lake Michigan shoreline, located in Emmet and Charlevoix counties.

In honor of the history of the land and the Bay Shore Band of Odawa who once lived there, the preserve will be named "Enji-minozhiiyaamigak"- the Anishinaabemowin phrase for "The Place of Peacefulness". All signage at the preserve will be written in Anishinaabemowin first, and English secondary.

The preserve will be 56 acres in all and feature a quarter mile of Lake Michigan shoreline. Work to lay trails will begin early next year, with a target open date sometime next fall.
