Islands- This group of three islands is

The plan calls for a pedestrian bridge from Rotary Park to the first
island, Steere Island, and watercraft access to the other two
islands. Steere Island will be the most developed with paved trails,
fishing and observation platforms, and use of an existing structure
as an information center. One of the islands is quite small and will
be left as is. The third island, the largest, will include a rustic
campground facility, nature trails and fishing opportunities. (62.5
acres total)
Bike Trails- There is a
bike path that extends along the northwest side of the I-75 Business
Spur. This path is asphalt surfaces and includes a series of benches
along the route. There are paved sections from the I-75 Business
Spur along Davitt Street to 12th Avenue, along 12th
Avenue to Meridian Street and along Meridian Street to 8th
Avenue. There is also a bike/walkway on Portage Avenue from the
power canal to Magazine. There are also additional bike lanes along
several sections of the City's roads.
Snowmobile Trails- The
City is connected to the Eastern Upper Peninsula trail system by the
Sault-Brimley trail along the abandoned rail grade. The City is
exploring ways to connect this trail to the City's business and
motel district.
