Summary
On May 30, 2018, volunteers working with St. James Township and the Beaver Island Archipelago Trails Association cleared and widened an overgrown path to the beach at the campground, raked the picnic area, and built a log stairway.
Evidence limits
The announcement and organizer follow-up establish the planned work and reported completion. They do not provide a survey, design record, permit, or independent inspection of the trail or stairway.
Open questions
- Which volunteers or groups beyond St. James Township and BIATA took part in the May 2018 clearing?
- Does the log stairway built in 2018 still stand, or has it since been repaired or replaced?
If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
